The carcass of a 15-year-old female elephant was found at Anthiyur today, forest officials said.
A veterinarian was called in to conduct an autopsy and the report is awaited.
Officials suspect that the elephant might have died due to dehydration.
On April 28, a 10-year-old tusker died of starvation in the Satyamangalam Tiger Reserve near here.
