In a deeply tragic incident that has left many shaken, 21-year-old YouTuber and BSc student Bonu Komali was found dead in her rented apartment in Hyderabad. The young content creator, who had built a growing presence online, is believed to have died by suicide, police sources said.

In a particularly heart-wrenching detail, just hours before her death, she sent a message to her mother saying, “I love you mummy so much,” and asked her to take care of her younger brother.

Three-Year-Relationship

According to preliminary reports, Komali had been in a three-year relationship with a 27-year-old software engineer who was also a YouTuber. The couple had recently separated. Those close to her say the breakup had deeply affected her, and she had been struggling emotionally in the months following the separation.
