Coimbatore: In a tragic incident, a furniture shop worker in Coimbatore's Sanganoor area committed suicide by jumping into a 200-foot deep well. The search for his body has entered its third day as firefighters continue their efforts to recover the remains.



Vijay, also known as Vijayaraghavan, was a resident of Sanganoor and worked as a laborer in a local furniture shop. He was unmarried and had been struggling with health issues resulting from an accident that occurred several years ago. Additionally, he appeared to be distressed due to family problems.

The incident was immediately reported to the kavundampalayam Fire Department and the police.

Firefighters who arrived at the scene began searching for Vijay's body in the well. Despite their efforts, they have been unable to locate the body.
