Sri Lanka, May 14 -- Police suspect that the 19-year-old girl who died in a house fire in Kottawa on Tuesday (12) may have taken her own life.

Police say they are enlisting the help of the government analyst in this matter.

The fire broke out while the girl was alone at home.

Her mother and two brothers had left earlier to attend Vesak celebrations and had reportedly invited her to join them, but she had declined.

Investigations revealed that the family had moved into the rented house around eight months ago, following the recent death of the girl's father.
