Man takes his own life?

A 53-year-old man was found dead at his home on Sunday night.

Madan Nundlal, known by many as ‘Max’, was allegedly found by landlords who had gone to collect rent from him. When they approached the house, they were met by a foul smell and investigated.

Emergency services were called to the scene, but it was too late. It is alleged that Max committed suicide by drinking brake fluid. An autopsy will be performed to confirm the exact cause of death.

Family members at the scene said he had been having marital problems and they believe this may be the reason he took his own life. He was last seen and heard from on Thursday. The exact time of death is not known. Max leaves behind his wife and two children.

Police are currently investigating.
