Coimbatore: A security guard with a real estate company was trampled on to death by wild elephants in Kovaipur here on Tuesday morning when he went to a nature call.
The deceased was identified as R Muthusamy, 62, from Arivozhi Nagar in Madukkarai.
The company where it works is located about 500 meters from the boluvampatti block reserve forest within the reach of Madukkarai.
The forest department official said the area was often visited by elephants.
Because there were no facilities for muthusamy to relieve himself, he came out of place around 6 in the morning.
Suddenly, he was attacked by an elephant and he died on the spot, said a forest officer.
The resident of the region told the officials of the forest department, which reached the place and sent the body to Coimbatore Medical College and Hospital.
After postmortem, the body was handed over to the deceased family.
The Department of Forest officials also submitted RS 50,000 to family members as immediate assistance and RS 3.5 Lakh, the remaining amount of assistance, will soon be given to family members.
