Indian police were this month called to a suburban apartment where they discovered four bodies. The father (70 years of age) and his wife (60 years old) had committed suicide by swallowing poison. Nearby, their middle aged daughter and son had hanged themselves. 73 credit cards were found in the apartment as well as evidence of the overwhelming debts they had gotten themselves into. Not understanding how the interest charges would compound, the family had dug themselves so deep into a hole that in the end shame and despair led them to kill themselves. No walking away from their obligations and declaring bankruptcy for them.
