Puttur, Jun 20: In a tragic incident that occurred at Kemar of Bajathur village in the taluk here on Sunday June 20, a two-and-a-half-year-old girl died after accidentally consuming rat poison.

The deceased has been identified as Shreya, daughter of Saiju, ex-serviceman, and Deepti. They are residents of Kemar.


The parents of the deceased child were cleaning their dog's kennel, and cleared all things that had been kept on top. There was an old tube of rat poison too. As the parents were busy cleaning, the child without their knowledge consumed the rat poison thinking it was some eatable.

The child started vomiting around afternoon and was taken to Uppinangady hospital, and later shifted to a private hospital in Puttur. As the condition of the child deteriorated she was shifted to a private hospital in Mangaluru for advanced treatment. However, by then the child had breathed her last.

Deceased Shreya is survived by her parents and brother Sion.

    I smell a rat here... parents have to be booked for negligence... if the parents were around, they would have noticed child taking the rat poison in hand... probably they were inside when this happened...

    Dear San, don't pass silly comments "sounds fishy" No where in the news article it mentioned "so much rat poison...........". From where you got so much rat poison baby consumed.? Poison is poison small or big quantity. Some time small quantity also proves fatal if one's stomach is empty. Considering the age of the kid, minor qty is also enough for fatal results. Please console the parents who lost their kid.

    Mr.Fernandes, there is nothing to console the parents as they are solely responsible for the death. No one would keep poison in reach of a 2.5 year old child. Even cockroach hit we keep well away from children....thats parents responsibility.

    Rat poison can be cured by vitamin K1 injection followed by 1 week of tablets twice daily. I saved my two dogs that way. In western countries it is a common problem.
