Doctors have said that a 19-year-old youth died of suspected dengue fever in Belagavi on Wednesday.
Prajwal Magadum died after suffering for a day with high fever.
He was busy in organising a procession to install a Ganesha idol in Ashok Nagar on Tuesday.
He was admitted to a private hospital after he complained of fever. But the hospital asked the family to shift him to the District Civil Hospital after they suspected a dengue infection.
Doctors said that samples have been sent to a laboratory in Hyderabad and the infection will be confirmed after the results are received.
The victim belonged to a poor family. His father runs a paan shop and his mother sell vegetables.
