26-year-old transgender model and actress, Sherin Selin Mathew, was found dead at her apartment in Kerala's Chakkaraparambu. As per the reports, she was found hanging from a ceiling fan by her roommates. She was reportedly suffering from depression due to some personal differences with some of her friends.
