Shocked by hubby’s death, woman dies after childbirth

Nalgonda: In a tragic incident, a woman died of shock on learning about her husband's death in a road accident, soon after delivering a baby.

S Suresh (30), a police constable, died in a road accident in Nalgonda on February 26. Police said he lost control of the motorbike he was riding and hit the divider, resulting in his death.

As Hemalatha was pregnant and had gone for delivery to her parents' house in Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh, she was not informed about the accident.

After she delivered a boy in a private hospital, the relatives informed her that Suresh was dead. This caused her huge shock and led to her death.

The couple already had a two-year-old daughter. With the two children losing their parents, the families plunged into a gloom.

On Wednesday, last rites of Hemalatha were conducted by her parents at Mogulaikota in Anathagiri mandal in Suryapet district.
