A tragic incident from Thrissur, Kerala, saw a 27-year-old man die after a tree fell on his house during heavy rains. Despite moving his mother to safety earlier, he stayed back and lost his life in the accident.
A tragic incident from Thrissur’s Manalur has claimed the life of a 27-year-old man after a large tree fell on his house during heavy rainfall early Saturday morning. The victim, identified as Vishnu of Thrishnath house, was found trapped under debris after the roof was struck by the fallen tree.
Warning noticed, but tragedy strikes
According to reports, the family had noticed a day earlier that a tree located near their tiled-roof house was dangerously leaning and could collapse at any time. Taking precautionary measures, Vishnu ensured his mother, Valliyamma, was moved to a neighbour’s house for safety. However, he chose to stay back at their residence.
In the early hours around 6 AM, heavy rains battered the region, and the weakened tree eventually gave way. It crashed directly onto the room where Vishnu was sleeping, leaving him trapped under heavy debris.
