A 75-year-old woman, Sudharmma, died from a suspected snakebite in Pulimath, Thiruvananthapuram district, Kerala, on April 20. This incident marks the second snakebite fatality in the state within two days, following the death of eight-year-old Aljo in Thrissur district. Sudharmma was bitten near her well at around 6:15 am and was rushed to a nearby hospital before being transferred to Thiruvananthapuram Medical College Hospital, where she died at approximately 7:15 am. Doctors suspect a snakebite, but confirmation awaits a postmortem examination. Meanwhile, Aljo's funeral took place after he succumbed to a snakebite at home, where a juvenile common krait was later found. His brother, Anosh, who was also bitten, remains in the ICU but is reportedly improving. The Forest Department has warned residents about the increased likelihood of snake encounters due to the ongoing summer heat in Kerala.
