The incident took place on February 16. People who live nearby, including Ramabai Patel (47) and her husband Krishna Patel, did not see the family move. The main door to the house was locked from the inside. Soon, they started to doubt them and called the husband and wife by their names. But there was no answer, which made the neighbors even angrier. After a while, they looked out the window and saw that both of the victims were swinging from the moose in the courtyard.
A couple in Chhattisgarh’s Janjgir Champa district was found dead. It was said that they had killed themselves because they were having a hard time dealing with the death of their only son. The terrible thing happened in a village within the Shivrinarayan police station area.
In the backyard of their home, police said they found the husband and wife hanging from a tree. The shocking sight was seen by locals, who quickly called the police. When the police arrived, they began investigating what happened.
People in the area say the couple had been very upset since last year, when their son died in a car accident. Neighbors said that after the accident, they had become distant and rarely spoke to others.
Suicide note and video message found
During the investigation, cops found a note written by hand and a video recording that the couple is said to have made before they died. Along with the note, they said that their son was their everything and that they could not get over the pain of losing him.
They said that they were making the choice voluntarily because they couldn’t live without their child. In the video message, they allegedly spoke quietly about how they were feeling and asked family members to share any remaining money among close cousins.
Officials said that the papers had been seized and would be used in the current investigation. In the meantime, a case has been opened, and all possible sides of the death are being looked into. The early report from the investigation suggests that the couple couldn’t handle the pain of losing their son too soon in a car accident and chose to hang themselves.
The event put a dark shadow over the whole town. The locals were sad that the couple would not have done what they did if they had mental health help when they were having a hard time.
Police are looking into it
While the cops opened a case, the bodies were sent for postmortem study. For now, the police say there are no signs of foul play and are treating the case as a suicide.
Investigators are recording what family members and neighbors say to figure out what happened and how it happened. Officials from the police force also talked about how long-term grief can be hard on families emotionally.

The community is shocked
The deaths have shocked everyone in the village. A lot of people in the area said that the pair was a quiet, loving parent who battled alone after their son died. People from the neighborhood gathered outside the house as word spread.
This event has once again sparked worries about mental health care in rural areas, where families dealing with loss often have to deal with their problems alone.
