Bogged down by health issues, a man died by suicide in the suburbs of Mumbai by inhaling carbon monoxide gas.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old, who lived in a rented house in Mumbai-bordering Vasai, wrote in a suicide note taped next to his bed that he was suffering from small fibre neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy, both of which cannot be cured.<\/p>\n

The incident came to light when the man’s Bengaluru-based sister sent an e-mail to the Mumbai Police after not hearing from him since Saturday. The Mumbai Crime Branch traced his mobile location to the Kaman area in Vasai.<\/p>\n

On arriving at the bungalow where the man was staying, the Naigaon police found a note on the door that read “Carbon monoxide inside, don’t switch on the lights”. He was found wearing an inhalation mask connected to a carbon monoxide cylinder. The windows had been sealed shut with the help of a carpenter to prevent gas leakage.<\/p>\n

“Both the medical conditions have no cure and have rapidly progressed in the span of last 1.5 years. I have consulted dozens of doctors but no one was able to help. These medical conditions have made me so miserable. I am on the verge of losing my job. The conditions won’t ever allow me again to work and earn and live a good life,” he wrote in the suicide note.<\/p>\n

He also wrote that his friends and family supported him during his period of sickness, but he was left with no other option as his “health had become miserable”.<\/p>\n

The police have registered a case of accidental death and are investigating the source of gas cylinders.<\/p>\n\n
