Kottayam: A Keralite man was found dead in London just days after his wife’s death. Anil Cherian (Ronnie, 44) from Valiyapparambil House in Panachikkadu was found dead in a deserted area near his house on Tuesday morning.

Anil’s wife, Sonia Sara Ipe (39), had collapsed and died at their London home earlier this week. Sonia, a nurse in the UK, had recently visited Kerala for 10 days for leg surgery.
