A 19-year-old Buddhist monk has committed suicide at the Godella Dhammikarama Viharaya in Aluthgama.
Police said the monk had used a rope to hang himself from the ceiling fan in his room at around 11.30pm last night.
Nuwara Eliye Sudewa Thero, 19, who had been residing at a temple in Walapana, Beruwala, only arrived at the Dhammikarama Viharaya last evening to attend a ‘Bakthi Gee’ programme.
Police have also discovered a letter written by the Buddhist monk about his depression and requesting that his parents be looked after.
