Samwrith had been suffering from anxiety and appeared depressed for the past few days, his flatmates told cops.

“A homemade suicide bag using a helium cylinder has been recovered…. It is still not clear how he had sourced it,” the police said.

An officer said helium cylinders were used to fill balloons.

The police have found a suicide note in the flat and have alerted Samwrith’s relatives about his death.
