Two teenage girl athletes, both trainees staying at a Sports Authority of India (SAI) hostel, in Kerala State of India, were found dead in a room.   The police said the deceased belonged to Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram districts.  According to the police, one was an athletics trainee studying in Class XII, while the other, a kabaddi player, was a Class 10 student. 

The incident came to light when fellow inmates noticed that the two had not reported for the morning training session.  After repeated knocks on the door went unanswered, hostel authorities broke open the door and found the two hanging from ceiling fans in the room.   A case has been registered at the Kollam East police station. 

“The reason is yet to be ascertained. We are conducting a probe,” said Kollam City Police Commissioner Kiran Narayanan.   No suicide note had been recovered from the room.
