The body has been sent to mortuary for autopsy

An 18-year-old woman from Fatehpur, who was allegedly raped and set ablaze, died on Thursday in a Kanpur hospital after battling for life for almost 120 hours, officials said.

“She had suffered from organ failure including lungs and kidneys following serious injuries and we tried to resuscitate her, but she could not survive and died,” head of the department (surgery) at the hospital, Dr. Sanjay Kala said.

The body has been sent to mortuary for autopsy.

The rape victim, who had over 90% burns, had been put on ventilator support since Tuesday due to continued multi-organ dysfunction. She was having problems while breathing too, Dr. Kala said.

 

“She was almost unconscious since Wednesday evening and took her last breath at around 6:30 a.m.,” he added.
