A techie, whose eight-month-old child miraculously survived after falling from the fourth floor of an apartment building on the outskirts of Chennai last month, was found dead in Coimbatore on Saturday. The police believe she died by suicide.

According to investigators, massive trolling on social media, where users called her a bad mother, may have prompted her decision.

In April, a terrifying video showed the infant – Harin Magi – sitting on the edge of a tin roof on the second floor of an apartment building in Avadi outside Chennai.

In the video, which promptly went viral on social media, a group of residents stood below the building with a bed sheet to catch the child who had fallen from the fourth-floor balcony on a tin shade three floors down in case she fell, as a resident pulled off a dramatic rescue – the man climbed out of the first-floor window, stood on the railing, grabbed the girl, and passed her to a man inside the apartment.

It was said that she had fallen from the fourth-floor balcony while her mother was tending to her.

Both praise and criticism for the rescuers and the mother were abundant in the video.

The woman and her spouse relocated to her hometown of Coimbatore after the incident, where she passed away on Saturday, according to the investigators.

They also mentioned that following the incident, she was experiencing depression.
