On Wednesday, he checked into a lodge in Periamet and was not seen since then by the lodge staff, while the door remained locked from inside.

On Friday night, after a foul smell emanated from his room, the staff alerted Periamet police around 12.30 am and the door was opened in the presence of police personnel.

Suresh was found dead in the bed with a bottle of poison and sleeping pills next to him.

A suicide note has also been retrieved in which Suresh has allegedly stated that nobody is responsible for his decision.
