death/suicide
In his twenties, he was diagnosed with a severe mental illness called schizophrenia. After suffering from the disease for several years, he committed suicide in 1997. In an interview, Siddharth’s father Kabir Bedi said:
Siddhartha was a very talented young man…his abilities were outstanding, but suddenly one day, he couldn’t think. We went to great lengths to find out what the problem was first, and for three years we battled these unknown ghosts, culminating in his extremely violent escape through the streets of Montreal and it took eight police officers to capture him. Then doctors in Montreal eventually diagnosed him with schizophrenia. “
Pooja Bedi shared her memories with her brother in a blog. She wrote,
I miss my brother Siddharth deeply. We were inseparable when we were kids. Same school, same friends, same room. We travel together, fight together, laugh together, and love each other madly together. In 1997 he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and committed suicide, which completely changed my life. He is a sensitive, loving, gentle, and witty man. The void left by his death, followed by my mother’s death in 1998, is one I will never be able to fill. “
