Delhi CA’s Heartbreaking Suicide Note After Using Helium Gas at Airbnb – Full Story

A 25-year-old Delhi CA, Dheeraj Kansal, ended his life by inhaling helium gas at an Airbnb. His suicide note, full of pain and self-hate, has left everyone shocked. Read the full details, what happened, and where to get help if you’re feeling low.

Introduction

A very sad incident happened in Delhi where a young Chartered Accountant (CA), Dheeraj Kansal, just 25 years old, committed suicide by breathing in helium gas at an Airbnb. This is the first time such a case has been reported in Delhi, and the way he did it, along with his suicide note, has left everyone heartbroken.

Before taking his life, Dheeraj posted a suicide note on Facebook and also wrote one by hand, saying things like:

• “The worst part of my life was my birth, but death is the best part.”
• “I hate myself more than anyone else ever could.”

His words show how much pain he was in, and his story is a wake-up call for all of us about mental health.

What Happened at the Airbnb?

Dheeraj had booked an Airbnb near Bengali Market in Delhi on 20th July 2025 and was supposed to leave on 28th July. When he didn’t check out, the owner got suspicious because of a bad smell and called the police.

When they entered the room, they found Dheeraj dead on the bed, with a plastic bag over his head connected to a helium gas cylinder. This was Delhi’s first suicide case using helium, a method that silently cuts off oxygen and causes death without pain.

How Did Helium Gas Kill Him?

Helium is a gas that, when inhaled, pushes out oxygen from the lungs, making a person unconscious within seconds and leading to death. Dheeraj had planned everything carefully:

• Bought the helium cylinder online from Ghaziabad for ₹3,500.
• Used a plastic bag and pipe to make sure the gas didn’t leak.
• Left no chance of survival because helium kills quickly without any struggle.

What Did His Suicide Note Say?

Dheeraj left two suicide notes – one on Facebook and one handwritten. His words were full of pain:

• “No one is responsible for my death. This was my own decision.”
• “I hate myself more than anyone else ever could. I would rather burn in hell forever.”
• “The saddest part of my life was my birth, but death is the most beautiful part.”

He also made two requests:

• Donate his money to orphanages or old-age homes.
• Donate his organs if possible.

Dheeraj’s Difficult Life – Family, Loneliness, and Depression

Dheeraj’s life was full of struggles:

• Lost his father when he was very young (some reports say 2002, others say 2003).
• Mother remarried, so he was raised by his grandparents.
• Fell into deep depression after his grandmother’s death and couldn’t even leave his house for some time.
• Lived alone in a paying guest (PG) accommodation in Mehrauli, with no close family around.

Police Investigation – Where Did He Get the Helium?

The police found out:

• He ordered the helium cylinder online from a seller in Ghaziabad.
• No foul play – his suicide notes made it clear it was his own choice.
• Checking his phone and social media to understand his last days.

Why Are Young Professionals Struggling So Much?

Dheeraj’s case shows the bigger problem:

• Too much pressure on young CAs and professionals.
• Loneliness even when they seem successful.
• No one to talk to about their struggles.

Many young people today are dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression but don’t know where to get help.
