Coimbatore: Karthik (22), a native of Anupparpalayam in Tirupur district was staying in a rented house in Ganeshapuram, in Coimbatore's Ramanathapuram area.

A bottle of poison was also found near Karthik's body. Preliminary investigations revealed that Karthik had visited his parents' house in Tirupur last week and returned angry after a quarrel with them. The Ramanathapuram police have registered a case and are investigating the tragic incident.
