AREEKODE: Messages expressing shock and disbelief continue to pour across social media in Kerala over the death of popular YouTuber and law student Aboobacker Siddique, known by his moniker ‘Abu Areekode’. Abu was 28 and a native of Poongudi. He was popular on social media for being vociferous in his support for CPM.

Abu, a last-year LLB student at Markaz Law College, was found hanging from the window of his rented house near the college the other day. He lived with his friends at the house.

As it was the second Saturday, most of the students had gone to visit their homes. Abu had food with his friends on Friday night and went to sleep. On Saturday morning, Pain and Palliative Care Volunteers who were walking on this route saw a youngster hanging from the window. An alarm was thus raised.

Even close friends or relatives are shattered and clueless about the reason that made the lively youngster end his life. Certain social media accounts mention that the youngster had a few financial obligations, which is suspected to have taken a toll on him. It was a year back that Abu married a woman from Pattambi. It is reported that marriage was modestly conducted due to financial straits.
