In an unfortunate incident, a 36-year-old Kurla resident died after a coconut tree fell on him, injuring his head. According to an eyewitness, Vinod More (36) had left home to reach his office, a local cable network firm, around 3pm on Wednesday.
The moment he stepped out of his house, he received a call on his phone. After he started talking, a coconut tree near an under-construction building diagonally opposite to him, fell on his head. The eyewitness, Hamid Shah said, &ldquo;While he was talking on the phone standing opposite to the tree, suddenly the trunk cracked from the middle and fell on him.&rdquo;
According to sources, More was immediately rushed to Aryan Hospital in Nehru Nagar, where he was declared dead on arrival. &ldquo;The victim was brought dead to the hospital around 3.15pm. After that his body was taken to Rajawadi Hospital for post-mortem,&rdquo; said a doctor at Aryan Hospital.
Speaking to mid-day, a resident of Mother Dairy Road Santos R Soni said, &ldquo;Most of the trees around the under-construction building are dead and they can fall anytime. Who will take responsibility for such accidents?&rdquo;
More is survived by his wife Anita and two children Dhruv and Sejal. He was the only earning member of the family. More&rsquo;s younger brother Vinay More said, &ldquo;Even after an hour of the accident, his wife and children were unaware of his death. I could not gather courage to tell them.&rdquo;
Official speak &ldquo;It is an unfortunate incident. As far as I know the coconut tree was a dead one and it did not have a crown. As it was in the premises of an under-construction building, the owner should take responsibility for the mishap,&rdquo; said JV Pardeshi, superintendent of garden.
