Fifteen year-old Mahadev Prasad was down with high fever and sleeping when a cobra bit him 31 times and ends his life. Mahadev Prasad's dreams of becoming a doctor met a venomous end, last Wednesday. Prasad hails from a family of agriculturists in Magadi and his parents were proud of their boy.
He scored 86 per cent in his SSLC exam this year and dreamt of becoming a doctor. He had recently enrolled in PU I science at a private college in Bangalore.His sister recalls how he loved football and cricket. Though he was sick in the past one week, he never missed watching matches in the ongoing FIFA World Cup. Last Wednesday was no different. He was watching a football match despite having fever. After some time he felt restless, switched off the TV and went to sleep. His sister was sleeping beside him.
The doctor who examined Prasad and declared him dead told, "I was really shocked to see the way the snake attacked him. As he was suffering from high fever he may not even have reacted to the bites. I have not seen an incident like this. When a snake bites, it's poison is exhausted in its initial bites. I am surprised how this particular snake bit him 31 times."
Last Wednesday Prasad was watching a football match. He felt restless, switched off the TV and went to sleep. Next morning, he did not respond to his mother's attempts to wake him up. The latter thought he was in deep sleep. His parents then noticed his whole body had turned blue. He was not breathing. Prasad's sister too was suffering with a lot of pain.They then took the daughter to the hospital. A doctor who came to their house and examined Prasad, declared him dead.
