Lebanese Armenian commits suicide

A 62-year-old man is believed to have committed suicide Tuesday, March 6, by hanging himself at his home in the town of al-Atshana, near Bikfaya, Lebanon.

As Daily Star reports, security sources said Krikor Jolakian, a Lebanese Armenian, was found dead at midday hanging from a rope inside one of the bedrooms of his house.

A coroner who examined the body said there were no physical signs of abuse on Jolakian, which strongly points to a suicide.

The prosecutor has requested to listen to the statements of Jolakian’s wife and children, who were outside the house when the alleged suicide took place.
