Media official of Indhira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) reported the teen passed away at 1:45 am, this Wednesday morning, while receiving treatment at the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit.

The accident in Kalaidhoo took place on January 28 while three people – including the 14-year-old - were out for a midnight ride on their motorcycles. Paddles on two of the motorcycles got ensnared in each other, which led to the motorcycles tripping and crashing onto the ground.

The hospital reported in an earlier interview that the teen was left braindead from injuries he sustained to his head. And that the doctors had abandoned all hope of him making a recovery.
