Coimbatore:
A 75-year-old doctor, practicing traditional medicine, was found dead today in the forest of Vellingiri Hills near Coimbatore.
The man, identified as Kitty of Mullankadu tribal village, left home for the hills on Tuesday afternoon to collect medicinal herbs but did not return, the police said.
