The death of a three-year-old male child led to commotion at the Government Headquarters Hospital in Krishnagiri on Wednesday.

This is the second such incident at the GH in the last week.

T. Gokulraj (3), the only son of Thimmarayan and Madhammal of Vettiyampatti village, died at the GH, allegedly half an hour after he was admitted with fever.

He was brought to the GH around noon on Wednesday with high temperature and allegedly died due to late arrival of doctors to the emergency ward. Relatives told reporters that the child had been taking treatment for fever in private hospitals for the last three days and was brought to the GH on Sunday and was treated as an out patient. If the doctors arrived in time, the boy could have been saved, alleged relatives.
