Ranganathan added: “It’s a sad fact that 125 people in the UK die every week as a result of suicide. And it’s something that I couldn’t in good conscience do nothing about. And so for that reason, I am running the London Marathon in order to raise as much money as I possibly can. “He just thought he could deal with it himself. And unfortunately, it’s ended up with him not being here today.”Ms Clements said her brother was “loved by so many” and “his ending could have been completely different to what it is”.
