Apparently deeply upset about the sale of his goat, a 23-year-old man hanged himself at his home in Shastri Nagar locality of Santacruz on Wednesday, the police said.

According to the police, Nadeem Khan allegedly hanged himself using a nylon rope from the ceiling of his home in the morning.

The deceased's sister broke open the door with the help of a neighbour when he failed to respond to repeated knocks, a police officer said.

Khan was taken to a hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival, he said.

The deceased had been morose over the last few months after his mother sold his goat, as the family had fallen on hard times, the officer said, adding that an accidental death report has been registered in this regard.
