KOCHI: A post-mortem report has revealed that transgender Anannyah Kumari Alex, who was found hanging in a flat in Kochi, had non-healing wounds on her private parts. According to the report, the injury was related to a gender reassignment surgery that took place a year ago, but the preliminary report concluded that Anannyah had committed suicide.

Anannyah was found hanging in her flat in Edappally on July 20th. Anannyah Kumari Alex's partner Jiju Raj from Thiruvananthapuram was also found hanging on July 23rd.
