The wife and children of a man who died from coronavirus are claimed to have committed suicide because they were shunned by villagers following his death.

Parimi Snuneetha, 50, her son Narasaiah Phanikumar, 25, and 23-year-old daughter Lakshmi Aparna, jumped to their deaths near their home in Andhra Pradesh, India, on Wednesday.

Police said the family sank into depression following the death of 52-year-old Narasaiah from Covid-19 four days before they died, India Today reports.

Officers claimed they felt "humiliated" after relatives and friends failed to comfort them following Narasaiah's death. A suicide note was found in the family's car, which stated they were the victims of the social stigma surrounding the virus.
