On December 19, Laxmana came out of the hospital ward when his son-in-law went out to bring food. When the son returned, he could not find his father anywhere, and a search was conducted. Laxmana was later found dead on the hospital ground, having jumped from the second floor.

According to a complaint filed by Lalita, wife of the deceased, Laxmana Gowda committed suicide as he was distressed by their mentally disturbed son and daughter-in-law who were constantly quarrelling and creating ruckus.

    My suggestion to this modern world don't think about marriage.
    If you Marry don't produce children
    Otherwise you have to suffer from the hands of your children
    You sacrifice everything for children and last you get this
    Better you earn and you eat.just like I am doing.

    Senior citizens, especially parents, are harshly, cruelly maltreated, by their very own children... The collapse of joint families and the rise of independent micro family, has created this growing, rising pandemic across our society... Children gobble up their parents possessions, life savings and throw them on the streets to perish !!! Visit any old age n destitutes homes n see for yourself, the horrendous plight, misery, crimes committed by their very own children and grandchildren !!!
