Two teenage athletes were found dead in the hostel room of a Sports Authority of India facility in Kerala’s Kollam on Thursday, PTI quoted the police as saying.
The girls were identified as Sandra, 17, from Kozhikode district, and Vyshnavi, 15, from Thiruvananthapuram, reported Mathrubhumi.
While Sandra was studying in Class 12, Vyshnavi was a Class 10 student.
The deaths came to light at around 5 am after other hostel residents noticed that the two girls were missing from training. Hostel authorities broke into the room and found the bodies, PTI quoted the police as saying.
The police said that Vyshnavi, who was living in a separate room, had spent the previous night in Sandra’s room.
The Kollam East police have launched an investigation.
The reason for the deaths is yet to be determined and no note was recovered from the room, officials said.
