A 25-year-old Indian student, who suffered severe burn injuries in a fire accident in Florida, United States, has died after battling for life for 15 days. V Bharath Chander Reddy suffered burns to nearly 75 per cent of his body in a fire on July 25.
Police have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash. Members of Malta’s Civil Protection Department were called to the scene after the accident. In another incident, a 27-year-old Indian national from Telangana was killed in a road accident in Malta, prompting appeals for assistance to repatriate his remains to India. The trailer involved in the collision was being driven by a 39-year-old man from Tarxien.
He was admitted to a Florida hospital in critical condition after being involved in a fire accident. The news of his death has left his family in shock. His father, Sammi Reddy, has appealed to the Telangana government to help bring his son’s body back to their native village for the final rites. The family is now awaiting assistance to complete the formalities and bring Reddy’s remains back to Telangana.
Reddy went to the United States in 2023 for higher studies. He succumbed to his injuries on August 10, his family said.
After completing his education, he started working in a part-time job in the US, according to his family.
