As 24-year-old Shruti was barely coming to grips with the loss of her entire family in the recent catastrophic landslides in Kerala's Wayanad district, she suffered another devastating blow as her fiance died on Wednesday after meeting with an accident.
A spokesperson of the private hospital in Wayanad where the 27-year-old Jenson was admitted, confirmed that he succumbed, at 8.50 pm, to the injuries he suffered in the accident.
Shruti's fiance, who met with an accident on Tuesday and was being treated at the Dr Moopen Medical College, was in an extremely critical condition.
Tragedy had struck Shruti, an accountant at a hospital in Kozhikode district, on July 30 when her family of nine, including her parents and younger sister were killed in the landslides that struck Chooralmala and Mundakkai villages of Meppadi panchayat.
Her only support during the tragic times was Jenson, with whom she had got engaged on June 2 after a 10-year-long courtship.
On August 29, the couple had visited the Puthumala graveyard where some of her family were buried and had reaffirmed their commitment to each other.
Days later, on September 10, Jenson got critically injured when his car collided head-on with a private bus. -- PTI
