A 38-year-old agricultural labourer was found dead in a Tasmac outlet at Neepathurai village near Chengam town in Tiruvannamalai on Wednesday.

The deceased has been identified as K. Suresh, a native of Kattamaduvu village near Chengam town. He was living with his family, including four children in the village for many years.
