A 37-year-old COVID-19 patient ended his life by reportedly jumping off the third floor of Visakha Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS), where he was being treated, on Thursday. He took the extreme step allegedly out of fear and depression.
The deceased was identified as M. Venubabu, a resident of Gollalapalem in Bheemili mandal.
According to Arilova Inspector Emmanuel Raju, the victim was admitted to VIMS on June 1. He was being treated at the ICU on the third floor of the hospital.
Police said that around 10 days ago, a friend of Venubabu allegedly died due to COVID-19. Since then, he was in a state of panic. On Thursday morning, at around 7 a.m., he allegedly jumped out of a window and ended his life.
