National Games: Netball player dies
The player was identified as Mayuresh Pawar.
"The tragedy struck when the team was on their return journey to the Games Village and made a stop-over at Shanghumugham beach. The preliminary medical report points to death out of drowning. The body was later taken to Medical College Hospital," the official website of the National Games read.
"A conflicting media report was that athlete Mayuresh Pawar complained of chest pain after the match between Maharashtra and Chandigarh, which his team lost. Although the 21 year-old was duly given first aid and then rushed to the nearby Thiruvananthapuram Medical College Hospital, his situation only worsened and the doctors could not save him," it said.
