One woman's suicide attempt ended with the loss of her two young sons' lives. Police in the Telangana region of India are investigating the apparent murder-suicide attempt after the 30-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital.

The woman, a resident of Kamareddy, had attempted to kill herself and her two sons, aged four and five, by jumping into a 15-foot ditch filled with water on Saturday. Somehow, the woman managed to survive the jump, but her sons did not survive.

Police suspect that the woman was involved in a family dispute with her husband, who works in Hyderabad, before the tragic incident occurred. The woman's condition remains stable at the hospital.

Only in rare cases, like this one, do we see just how heartbreaking mental health can be, commented Bhaskar Bhat, a local mental health advocate. It highlights how we must take suicide prevention and mental health dramatically. Unfortunately, this story shows that we have a long way to go, he added.

The investigation into the exact cause is still underway.
