A transwoman was found hanging in her rented accommodation at Ponekkara in the early morning hours on Wednesday.
The deceased person was identified as Shradha, 22, of Veliyan in Kollam district. The victim was sharing the facility with two other transwomen.
The Elamakkara police suspect it to be a case of suicide. The body was found when one of the room-mates returned around 2 a.m. The transwoman found the door locked and the victim’s mobile phone switched off.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
