15-YEAR-OLD DIES IN GYM AS DUMBBELL SLIPS OUT OF HAND, FALLS ON HIS HEAD

In a horrific incident, a 15-year-old boy passed away after a freak accident at a gym in Villivakkam. The deceased, Mohanasundaram, of Agathiar Nagar in Villivakkam, had reportedly secured 427 marks out of 500 in Class 10 board exams.

Reportedly, the boy’s parents allowed him to go to a private gym as he was too enthusiastic about fitness. At around 8 pm on Tuesday, the boy attempted to do the bench press at the gym with two dumbbells. During the exercise session, one of the dumbbells accidentally fell on his forehead.

People present in the gym rushed him to a nearby private hospital. After his condition worsened, he was taken to Kilpauk medical hospital where doctors declared him dead on arrival and the body was later sent for post-mortem.
