The deceased is identified as Brahmapuram native Sukumaran. His wife Seena and eldest daughter Surya had already died.
Sukumaran's youngest daughter Suvarna remains in critical condition. It was Suvarna who informed the neighbours that the family had tried to commit suicide by drinking acid.
After the incident came to light, Sukumaran and his youngest daughter were rushed to hospital. Meanwhile, Sukumaran's wife and elder daughter had died on Monday night itself.
