Another elephant found dead in Erode district

The carcass of a 15-year-old female elephant was found at Anthiyur today, forest officials said.

A veterinarian was called in to conduct an autopsy and the report is awaited.

Officials suspect that the elephant might have died due to dehydration.

On April 28, a 10-year-old tusker died of starvation in the Satyamangalam Tiger Reserve near here.
