Bantwal, Dec 4: An elderly man who had served as a priest of Sri Panchalingeshwar temple at Vittla in Bantwal taluk for several years, committed suicide today by jumping into a well.
77-year-old Vasudeva Kedilaya, a resident of Vittla, was suffering from depression apart from age-related physical ailments, sources said.

Kochi, Mar 2: The Vatican has rejected the second appeal by Sister Lucy Kalappura -- one of the nuns who protested against rape accused Bishop Franco Mulakkal -- against her expulsion from Franciscan Clarist Congregation (FCC).
In her plea, she had demanded that her version be heard and her expulsion from FCC revoked.
She was expelled from FCC for participating in public protests demanding the arrest of Franco Mulakkal in the nun rape case.
''I got a letter from Vatican which says my appeal has been rejected. But the rest of the letter is written in the Latin language. So after I understand it, I will respond," Sister Lucy told news agency.
''The authorities are contemptuous of those who make such complaints. That is why the letter is written in Latin. Sister Lucy would continue her legal fight in the courts,'' said George Moolechalil, who has been authorised by Sister Lucy to communicate with the media on her behalf.
A petition of Sister Lucy is still pending at Mananthavady Munsif Court at Wayanad that demands that she should not be expelled from the convent where she is staying.
Religious issues should be resolved within the guidelines of devine laws.
Unfortunately the Chrisitianity is no more in its originality.
The holy bible has been systematically abused and edited to the benefits of rulers.
The book has been contaminated with lots of editions.
People should search for truth and follow it.
Example, the religion never told to remain unmarried for priests or nuns.
They go against its teaching inveting their own idea against God's teaching.
Vatican is a corporate person.
