Colombo: A lady doctor committed suicide by hanging herself at her home in Kalalgoda, Sri Lanka.

According to a report in Hiru Gossip, the 36-year-old doctor – a mother of two sons - had left a note saying she was taking the extreme step as she could not bear the stress after becoming a mother.

She was staying at her parents’ home along with her husband, who is also a doctor, and their two boys aged 4 years and 7 months respectively after having her second child.

On Monday, she messaged her husband saying she was returning to their home from hospital.

When the husband followed her, he was shocked to find her hanging from the fan.

The body has been transferred to hospital for post-mortem.

Investigations continue.
