Sunil Beldar, the accused, died of burn injuries at a hospital this morning.
Beldar, resident of Nisarga Dutta Nagar here, was apparently depressed because of financial and family issues, police said.
Yesterday afternoon he strangled his daughter Vaishnavi (10) and son Devraj (8) to death, and also tried to kill the elder daughter who is 12 years old by giving her insecticide to drink, police said.
Ashok Bhagat, in-charge of Upnagar police station, said when Sunil's wife realised what had happened, she locked him in his room and raised alarm.
While he died in hospital this morning, the elder daughter was undergoing treatment.
According to the police, Sunil and his wife were living separately and only yesterday he had persuaded her to come back from her parents' house. He had lost his job and started giving private tuitions.
Further probe is on.
