A 24-year-old college student allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the 19th floor of Mumbai's Taj Lands End hotel in suburban Bandra on Monday.

However, before ending his life, he went live on Facebook and recorded a 1.43-minute-long video giving a tutorial on how to end one's life.

The deceased, Arjun Bharadwaj, took the extreme step at around 6.30 pm when he broke the glass window of his room and leaped to his death. The Bandra police found a suicide note in which Bharadwaj said that he was ending his life due to depression.

"I'm a drug addict..I don't want to live anymore and hence committing suicide," the official said, quoting the suicide note.

The hotel's security personnel said that they heard a loud thud on the premises and soon rushed to the spot where they found Bhardwaj lying in pool of blood.

He was taken to nearby hospital where doctors declared him brought dead.

Bhardwaj had submitted proper documents before checking in, which helped the officials identify him.

The body has been sent for post-mortem.
