An elderly man, his wife and their disabled son were found dead in their home in the city\u2019s Thakurpukur area on Tuesday, the police said.<\/p>\n

In a note recovered by the police, 80-year-old Gobindo Karmakar said the three had decided to kill themselves as they were not keeping well.<\/p>\n

He wrote that both his wife Ranu Karmakar (70) and son Debashish (50) were suffering from paralysis, and it was impossible for him to look after them.<\/p>\n

The police said Debasish was disabled from birth, and his mother got paralysed after a recent heart attack.<\/p>\n

According to officials, all three had tried to get tested for Covid-19<\/a> as Gobindo had been running a temperature for the past few days.<\/p>\n

A police officer said investigators were waiting for the post-mortem report.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo external injuries were noticed. One suicide note has been found. The bodies are being sent for autopsy,\u201d the official added.<\/p>\n

The police found the note along with a message scribbled on the wall that read, \u201cWe three are dying.\u201d<\/p>\n

A cup labelled \u201cBeware, poison\u201d was also recovered, added the police official.<\/p>\n
