The body of a man was found inside a Delhi hotel after he allegedly died by suicide using a cylinder to overdose on oxygen, police said.
Nitesh, 24, was upset over the growing cost of treatment for his illness and chose to end his life, NDTV reports quoting police.
On Tuesday, he booked a hotel room in North Delhi's Adarsh Nagar and carried a small bag inside the room.
According to the police, Nitesh was found dead with a plastic bag covering his face. From the plastic bag emerged a tube connected to a small oxygen cylinder.
Excessive oxygen consumption can cause the heart rate to drop dangerously low and result in oxygen poisoning.
In a suicide note recovered by the police, Nitesh mentioned being troubled by his prolonged illness and the bills incurred by his treatment. Not wanting his parents to spend any more money for his care, he started looking online for painless ways to end his life.
He discovered this particular method during his research and even watched several videos related to it, police added.
