A 47-YEAR-OLD man suffered a heart attack when he saw his wife hang herself with her wedding saree at their home in Johor Baru.

Tamil Nesan reported that the woman K. Komathy, 33, had earlier left the bedroom for a drink downstairs at 3.20am on Tuesday.

When she did not return to bed, her husband T. Selvatharan went down to look for her and made the shocking discovery.

He found her hanging from a ceiling fan.

'She had been seeking treatment for depression,' he was reported as saying.

The newspaper said Selvatharan was recuperating in the intensive care unit at the Sultanah Aminah Hospital.
