Asthma drives girl to suicide

YOGYAKARTA: A 30-year old girl, Kaminah, was found dead on
Sunday night after reportedly committing suicide at her home in
Jemblangan village, Bantul regency, Yogyakarta, police said on
Monday.

"The victim was found hanging from the ceiling in her bedroom
at the end of a 1.5 meter-long piece of plastic rope," said
Bantul Police detectives chief Adj. Comr. Deny S.

He said the dead girl's body had been found by her sister-in-
law, Suwanti, and her father, Hidayat, 70, at around 8 p.m.

Deny said that an examination had found no signs of foul play.

The girl is believed to have committed suicide due to what her
family and neighbors said was persistent ill health resulting
from her asthma problem. --Antara
