Police responded to the incident and initiated an investigation into the circumstances. While preliminary findings suggest the death followed a family disagreement, authorities are continuing to gather details about the events leading up to the tragedy.
The incident highlights ongoing concerns about mental health support for adolescents and family communication in urban households.
