As per reports, her remains were sent to Rajarajeshwari Medical College in Kambipura and examinations will reveal further details.

The suicide note found near Soujanya's body is dated September 27, 28 and 29, and is addressed to her family. "I am really so sorry for doing this... I am not able to take it anymore," it reads, as shared by News18 Kannada. The letter further claims Soujanya's mental state was "not good" so she "felt better to do this." There are apologies, several times over, to the actor's parents in the note. It is written partly in English and partly in Kannada.

"I am the only one responsible for this... Sorry everyone for everything I had promised I'll never do such stupid thing in my life. But I had no option. I was total killed inside. Day by day I was going so low... My humble request... do good to everyone but never expect it back."

Her death by suicide follows that of actor Jayashree Ramaiah, who passed away this year in January. Famous as a contestant on the third season of Bigg Boss Kannada, Ramaiah ended her life at a rehab home in Bengaluru. Prior to her death, she revealed she was battling depression.
