# Pratima Gaonkar

> On 9 October 2001, Pratima Gaonkar, a young Indian intersex athlete and swimmer, was found dead in a well in Goa. The cause was identified as death by suicide; this was in turn caused by Gaonkar's reaction to the disclosure and public commentary surrounding a sex verification test. Gaonkar was reportedly the subject of blackmail attempts, including an accusation by her mother that her coach was accusing her.
