Mangaluru, Sep 22: A 24-year-old air-conditioning mechanic working for MCF lost his life after being attacked by a swarm of wasps here on Wednesday September 22.
The deceased is identified as Keshav alias Kitta (24), son of Sadhashiva and Kamalakshi of Patlachil in Yedapadavu.
Keshav had reportedly climbed a coconut tree at his neighbour’s house with the help of an equipment purchased by him to pluck coconuts on Sunday. While climbing the tree, accidently, his head touched the Wasps’ nest. The insects immediately attacked Keshav.
It is said that the deceased sustained nearly 70 stings on his body. He was rushed immediately to the hospital in Moodbidri. After primary treatment, he was shifted to a hospital in Mangaluru. As Keshav failed to respond to the treatment, he breathed his last.
Keshav was unmarried and is survived by three brothers.
