A 72-year-old woman and her 42-year-old software engineer son allegedly committed suicide due to "depression" by consuming poison at their residence in Thane district of Maharashtra, police said Monday.

When police entered the flat, they found the decomposed bodies of the two lying on beds.
The official said Venkateshwaran worked as a software engineer.
