A father who wrongly believed he had the coronavirus threw stones at his family to keep them away from him and then hanged himself so they wouldn't catch the deadly virus in India. Bala Krishna's grieving relatives said he had obsessively watched videos on his phone about the spread of the disease before becoming convinced he had the virus.
