A 40-year-old man from Bihar’s Darbhanga died at Delhi’s Ram Manohar Lohia hospital yesterday after he suffered a heatstroke during the record-breaking heatwave in the national capital. The man was admitted to the hospital late Monday night.
A doctor who attended to him said he was living in a room with no cooler or fan and had high fever. The body temperature, the doctor said, crossed the 107 degrees Celsius mark — nearly 10 degrees above normal. This is the first heat-stroke death reported in Delhi this summer.
