Thiruvananthapuram: A YouTube vlogger couple was found dead at their residence, who were residents of Preethu Bhavan in Parashala Cheruwarakonam here, police said.
Soon after receiving the information, the Parashala police and the forensic department headed to the spot, and the bodies were shifted to Thiruvananthapuram Medical College Mortuary for post-mortem.
The police suspect that the husband might died by suicide after killing his wife. The deceased have been identified as Selvaraj, 45, and Priya Latha, 40, the police confirmed.
Selvaraj worked as a construction worker, who used to post videos with his wife on their YouTube channel, primarily featuring cookery shows.
After tracking their YouTube channel, it was learned that two days ago the couple uploaded their last video, including a song that symbolises death, accompanied by pictures of the couple.
Their son, Sethu, who works as a home nurse in Ernakulam, learned of their deaths on Saturday night after being unable to reach them over the phone.
After coming home, he found the gate locked and later discovered the bodies while opening the door. He later suspected that the bodies were found to be more than two days old.
