A young female marketing executive from a private sector institution has died after attending a wedding reception in Gonapola, Horana.

The deceased, Manjari Adithaya Fernando (25), was an unmarried resident of Meegoda and worked as a marketing executive at a private company in Batuvita, Horana.

Police said, Manjari had reportedly enjoyed well and danced with others during the wedding reception. However, she had fallen ill and was rushed to the Horana Base Hospital, where she succumbed to her condition.

It was reported that Manjari had been receiving treatment for wheezing and had used an inhaler. She experienced difficulty in breathing after consuming lentil or gram-based meals, which had probably triggered an allergic reaction.

Dr. Panitha Seneviratne, the Judicial Medical Officer (JMO) at the Horana Base Hospital, conducted the postmortem examination. Following the inquiry into the sudden death, it was determined that Manjari's cause of death was heart failure, resulting in difficulty in breathing due to food particles obstructing her trachea.

Moragahahena police are currently conducting further investigations into the incident. (Buddhika Kumarasiri)

    This could be someone attending the wedding introducing some poison into her food. Stomach contents must be sent for a report

    This is 21st century but the “ Learned “ Doctors with “five year” degrees and a string of medical titles have NO ANSWERS. Yet no one challenges them for their unsuitability to remain as “ saviours” of human life. A 25 year old girl should never suddenly die like this in this modern times !!!!

    Incidents of this nature is very frequent after Covid. A matter of concern.

    Fakecronavir Monday, 28 August 2023 09:37 PM

    No, undoubtedly it must have happened by jabbing the coronavirus vaccine, a killer vaccine that was introduced by the US to earn money to recover their downfall economy against the Chinese rapid growth.

    True. Sadly sri lanka people are not aware of this. These Europeans want to reduce the world population and used these vaccine to kill us slowly.

    There are more jokers than politicians Monday, 28 August 2023 11:53 PM

    At Pack up the doctors; .... our country is full of uneducated , mentally unsound but pretending to be very intelligent and smart people. These comments are good to read and have fun out of it, but for no other value., knowing half and filling the rest with ignorance is more dangerousthan knowingnothing..more jokers than politicians

    Reading these comments seems like everyone had medical degree to profess their theories. She died let the JMO do their work. May her soul rest in peace.

    Post-mortem examination has shown food in the windpipe. Thus she had chocked to death. Probably ? In a state of party drinks and attack of asthma probably precipitated by a food allergy. Someone should have stood behind her and put his hands around her stomach and pressed a few times to expel the food that has gone into her trachea. Poor training in first aid. Did the place carry a resuscitation equipment. It should be made compulsory to have such equipment and trained people in charge of that place. A tragedy. RIP

    Ignorance is spreading Tuesday, 29 August 2023 07:22 AM

    Why do people like to comment in a foolish manner like here. Don't spread ignorance

    DD Tuesday, 29 August 2023 07:27 AM

    My heartfelt condolences. Let's use this tragedy as an opportunity to learn and prevent future incidents. It appears that she may have had underlying issues that were triggered. Nut allergies are unfortunately quite common and can indeed be fatal. Education is crucial in this situation. We need to educate the public on how to recognize, avoid, and prevent allergic reactions.

    Very good lesson to our younger generation. This is not a time to dance and merry. Our country is in turmoil due to the ruthless rulers who are ruling as at now {SLPP] along with careless Ranil.

    Dr. Marlan Dissanayake Tuesday, 29 August 2023 08:33 AM

    A thorough medical examination rather investigation should be done and then only must come into any conclusion. Without that stupid story by Health Department cannot be trusted.

    Atheïst Tuesday, 29 August 2023 11:00 AM

    Fakecronavir: my god, you must be a believer of religious fairytales too. How can someone be so ignorant. Your spelling also reflects your IQ.

    Punchi Tuesday, 29 August 2023 02:49 PM

    @Fakecronavir. The largest number of Covid fatalities was in the United States followed by India. Chinese fatalities not known due to secrecy

    Saman Tuesday, 29 August 2023 08:15 PM

    Thank you Ganesh. Nice to see at least one guy with a sound head. Accidental aspiration (commonly know as choking) is a known cause of mechanical obstruction to breathing and death. Instead of propping conspiracy theories, people in Sri Lanka should be taught Basic Life Support (like in developed countries) so they are able to recognise these events and save lives.

    Billions of peoole have taken the vaccine and only dew have died mysteriously. The vaccine actually helped us to come out of the pandemic.
