A 26-year-old man from Andhra Pradesh died by suicide in the United States. The deceased has been identified as Iraganaboyina Chandu and had completed a master's degree from DePaul University in Chicago.

As per reports, he had been searching for a job for a long time. However, the Kurnool resident failed to find one.

Chandu died by suicide at his home in the US owing to continuous stress over unemployment. Additional details of the case would be disclosed soon.

Indian Diaspora Helps Family

The Indian diaspora in the US collected a considerable amount of funds to support Chandu's family in the subcontinent. The community raised a sum of 1,200.00 dollars to assist the deceased's family.

"The cost of international repatriation from the US to India—including funeral home services, legal permits, and transportation—is approximately $25,000. This is an expense his family simply cannot afford on their own," the fundraising page read.

Funds over $25,000 will go to his parents to help them manage the debt that Chandu left behind.

In the last two days, over $76,000 has been raised.

"Chandu arrived in Chicago with big dreams, filled with hope and the same ambition held by so many international students. He was a wonderful human being—generous, warm, and a pillar of support for his friends and his younger brother. Tragically, the weight of the challenges he faced became too much to bear. His dreams were cut short, and his family in India is now left shattered by this unimaginable loss," the fundraising page wrote.
