Mumbai ,Sep 09, 2017 : In a shocking incident, pianist Karan Joseph from Benga committed suicide by jumping off a building at the upmarket and posh Bandra suburbs of Mumbai, on Saturday.

 

Karan (29) jumped from one of the flats on the 12th floor of Concord Building at Bandra West.

He has been staying in Mumbai since the past one month with his friend Rishi Shah.

The Bandra police station has registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) and investigations were in progress. No suicide note has been found.
The family of Karan back in Bengaluru has been informed.

Karan, Rishi and some others were in the room when suddenly he went to the window and jumped off.

They later rushed him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead on admission. The body is being sent for post-mortem.

The mobile phone of the deceased is being examined and his social media profile is also being analysed. Condolences poured in on Twitter as people came to know of the incident.

"Karan Joseph was a genius. Should have been far more celebrated than he was. It’s really unfair, how the music scene works in India," tweeted composer Vishal Dadlani.

"I did not know him personally. Whatever I had known about him that he was a good pianist," said Shubert Vaz, a veteran Mumbai based pianist.
