Distressed over multiple COVID-19 infections in the family, a couple in Odisha’s Nayagarh district ended their lives on Thursday evening. The State’s daily spike touched an all-time high with 8,681 persons testing positive for coronavirus on Friday. The deceased couple, aged over 50, were from Beguniapatna village. While the wife tested positive, the husband had flu-like symptoms, villagers said. Their son, who was also infected with COVID-19, was on oxygen support in a hospital at Puri. “Preliminary investigation shows the couple was under tremendous mental stress after the wife tested positive. We have no idea if the husband was COVID-19 positive. Neighbours and relatives said that they ended their life due to COVID-19 and we also found no other compelling reasons,” said J. P. Panda, inspector-in-charge of Ranapur police station in Nayagarh.
