He committed suicide even after scoring 91%

KERALA: Prince Thomas of Aluva in Kerala committed suicide on Tuesday night despite scoring 91 per cent in higher secondary school exams. The results were announced on Monday.

Thomas was scared that his family might not be able to afford his higher education. He wanted to pursue a career in nursing and has even applied for a BSc Nursing course in a Thiruvanthapuram college. He has also applied for his engineering and medical entrance exams

Thomas's family was going through financial crisis as his father had already sold off family property after suffering huge losses in business. Even his sister secured admission in a nursing college only after paying a large amount as donation. Thomas did not want to add to the family's existing troubles.

His body was found hanging in his room by his father who went to find out why the light in the room was still on.
