New Delhi: A 40-year-old man from Bihar’s Darbhanga died at Delhi’s Ram Manohar Lohia hospital on Wednesday after he suffered a heatstroke.

The man was admitted to the hospital late on Monday night. The treating doctor said that the man was living in a room with no cooler or fan and had a high fever. The body temperature crossed the 107 degrees Celsius mark, nearly 10 degrees above normal, NDTV reported the doctor as saying. This is the first heat-stroke death reported in Delhi this summer, the report said.

The national capital has been living its summer nightmare with record-breaking temperatures, all-time high power demand and a crippling water crisis. The Mungeshpur weather station on the city’s outskirts recorded a reading of 52.9 degrees Celsius — the highest-ever for any station in the country. The weather office is now investigating if the Mungeshpur station’s record reading was due to a sensor error or local factors.
