Vadodara: A 48-year-old Covid patient jumped to death from a private hospital building early on Sunday morning.
Ratan Tadvi, a native of Chhota Udepur, was reportedly scared as he was suffering from other diseases too.
Cops are investigating the reasons behind his suicide.
Tadvi was admitted to Sterling Hospital on May 30 after being detected positive for Covid.
“He was in the ICU and was kept on oxygen.
On Sunday, at about 8.30 am, he got up and walked up straight to the window and jumped off the hospital building,” said S V Chaudhary, Gotri police inspector.
Deceased was an employee of GUVNL and was suffering from diabetes too.
He died of severe injuries on his head.
Chaudhary said that Tadvi, a resident of Sankheda, didn’t leave any suicide note behind.
When asked the possible reasons that led him to take the extreme step, Chaudhary said, “Some time ago, a patient on the bed next to him had died.
It is possible that Tadvi must have been scared by that death and decided to end his life.
We are still investigating the reasons,” Chaudhary added.
