A 77-year-old differently abled native of Chakkittapara Grama Panchayat in Kozhikode district, who was reportedly suffering from a financial crisis after being denied of his social security pension for around five months, was found dead on Tuesday. Muthukad Valayath Joseph, or V. Pappachan, was found hanging from the ceiling of his house by neighbours. He had sent letters to the grama panchayat secretary recently saying that he would end his life if he did not get the pension in 15 days. Those in distress or having suicidal tendencies may seek help and counselling support by contacting Thanal, a centre for befriending persons instituted by the Indian Medical Association, Kozhikode.
