MUMBAI: The city witnessed its third dengue death in a week when a 22-year-old from Elphinstone Road, Shubham Tiwari, succumbed to the disease on Sunday. Dengue has claimed nine lives so far this year.

Shubham's father said he was rushed to KEM Hospital on Saturday afternoon after he developed high fever. "We went there at 3pm and they took his blood for tests at 8.30pm. Before the doctors returned with a confirmation of dengue, Shubham had to be put on respiratory support in the casualty ward itself. On Sunday, he bled in his brain and died."
Shubham, a graduate from Hinduja College near Charni Road, was going to start working on Monday.

KEM resident doctor Shruti Khobragade had died of the disease on October 27, while a civic employee's husband, Sandeep Gaikwad, passed away in Nair Hospital on Saturday. With Tiwari's death, the city has so far lost nine lives to dengue this year.

The BMC's epidemiology cell, however, refused to confirm the deaths as being due to dengue. This year, the civic body has reported over 700 cases of admissions of dengue patients to its hospitals.
