Missing Woman Found Dead After Fall at Chennai's Mylapore MRTS Station
The decomposed body of 55-year-old Vijaya, who went missing on October 8, was found four days later in a locked, disused room on the ground floor of Chennai's Mylapore MRTS station. Investigations suggest she accidentally fell through unguarded openings on the station's second floor while seeking a restroom, sustaining fatal rib and spinal fractures. A post-mortem attributed her death to a blood clot near the heart. Authorities have registered a case of unnatural death and are probing safety lapses at the station.
