A 30-year-old Indian-origin man, Kolli Abhishek, from Gudivada in Andhra Pradesh's Krishna district, was found dead in Princeton, Texas, a day after he was reported missing. Local authorities suspect the death to be a case of suicide, though investigations are ongoing.
Abhishek was reported missing on Saturday in Princeton, prompting a search operation by law enforcement and community members. His body was discovered the following day, leaving his family and loved ones devastated.
Abhishek, who had been unemployed for six months, had been married for just a year. He had previously lived with his wife in Phoenix, Texas, before moving to Princeton. His twin brother, Aravind Kolli, shared that Abhishek had been facing financial difficulties.

“His sudden passing is an unbearable loss for us,” Aravind said. “We want to honour his memory with dignity, without the burden of financial struggles.”
To help cover funeral expenses and repatriate Abhishek’s body to India, Aravind launched a GoFundMe campaign, raising over USD 59,000 in less than 24 hours.
The support from the Indian-American community, particularly the Telugu community in the US, has been overwhelming.
