A 35-year-old priest, who fainted in shock after witnessing a horrific accident at Sion Koliwada on Saturday, died in the wee hours of Tuesday. Devraj Devendra, the chief priest at Mariam temple, Antop Hill, had already been troubled for the past six months since the death of his five-year-old daughter from a heart ailment. The accident on Saturday, in which a 13-year-old boy died, was the final nail.

On the afternoon of May 18, Manish Kanojiya, a resident of Mahalaxmi, was riding his scooty with his 13-year-old son Ranjit as pillion. They had reached Makkawadi in Sion Koliwada, when suddenly a dumper took a left turn and hit the scooty. Kanojiya couldn't control the bike and it skidded under the rear tyre of the dumper. Manish and Ranjit were both crushed under the tyre.
