Varanasi: The 21 year old missing Covid patient jumped to his death from the fourth floor of the prestigious Sunderlal Hospital at Varanasi’s Banaras Hindu University.
“The CCTV footage was analysed in detail and we suspected that the patient had gone to one particular spot in the hospital. When we checked we found that the spot led to a duct pipe on the outer side of the hospital building. It appears that the patient tried to climb down from the second floor using the pipe and fell after the pipe burst. We found the body on the ground and immediately shifted it to the mortuary. The hospital administration also informed the police,” the statement said.
The hospital’s medical superintendent SK MATHUR said that the patient was admitted in the hospital with a head injury and later on tested covid positive. “That patient was admitted with a head injury, so he may have been in an unstable mental state. He was responding well to the coronavirus treatment” said, Mr.Mathur.
