Abu Dhabi: The death of a man whose body was found outside his residential building on Saturday , was a suicide, said the police.
The 42-year-old Indian jumped off the balcony of his apartment early morning on Saturday, said an official.
The body of Vaidyanathan, an Indian hailing from the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, was found in a pool of blood at around 6.15 in the morning after he jumped off the balcony of his apartment.
The incident happened on Hamdan Street, few buildings away from Al Mariah Cinema.
It was a grocery boy who first reported the suicide. The cause of death is severe head injury and trauma. An official at the morgue of preventive medicine department in Abu Dhabi said the body had multiple fractures which proved a fall from a tall building. Mina police station officials investigated the case.
Vaidyanathan was working as a marketing executive with a prominent private company in Abu Dhabi . Friends close to the unmarried man said that he seemed to be upset since last week.
In a similar incident that happened two months back, just few buildings away, another Indian man Sai Krishnan plunged to death from his apartment on the ninth floor.
