Prasanna Shetty (45), a native of Kondadi, Hiriyadka in Udupi taluk, was found dead by suicide at a lodge in Theerthahalli on Friday. The Bengaluru-based entrepreneur had checked in three days earlier. When staff received no response from his room, they broke open the door and found him hanging from the ceiling fan with a saree.
Prasanna’s suicide appeared premeditated, as he had brought his wife’s saree from Bengaluru and left a six-page note explaining his reasons, mentioning personal and business-related issues. He owned a hotel, bakery, and finance businesses in Bengaluru.
Prasanna’s last rites were held at his ancestral home. He is survived by his wife, two-year-old daughter, parents, and brother.
