India, April 11 -- A 32-year-old man in Davangere allegedly killed his two young children before dying by suicide, deeply distressed over the death of his wife, police said on Friday.

The tragic incident occurred on Thursday, news agency PTI. The man, identified as Uday, left behind a death note in which he expressed his enduring love for his late wife and wrote that he was "joining her along with their children," police said.

The officials said Uday's wife had died of a heart attack in September last year. The couple had fallen in love and married in 2015. Her sudden passing reportedly left Uday devastated and pushed him into a prolonged state of depression.
