Al Ain, Apr 10 (IBNS): An Indian woman allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the rooftop of a hospital in Al Ain city of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), media reports said on Tuesday.

The woman has been identified as Suja Singh, reports said.

She was working in the hospital as a nurse.

“The woman in her early forties, Suja Singh belongs from the south Indian state of Kerala, jumped off from the hospital’s building on Sunday afternoon,” the hospital sources told Gulf News.

The reason behind her decision to end life is still not known.

An official spokesperson of the hospital told Gulf News: "The woman has been working with the hospital since January, was a nice woman. She was working as a head of nurses at the hospital."

“The entire hospital is in shock because of this unfortunate incident and we are fully supporting the family of the victim in this difficult time. Singh had no issues with the hospital or any of its members. She was working fine," said the spokesperson.

The family doesn’t want to take the body back home India, so the hospital is planning to arrange her burial in the Emirate, reported Gulf News.

The deceased woman was divorced from a north Indian man.
