Kerala elephant death: Forest Dept begins probe

Kerala Forest Dept begins probe into the diabolical ‘murder’ of an elephant in Palakkad. The elephant had died on May 27 after she ate the pineapple stuffed with crackers and forest officials said that it died standing in river Velliyar after it suffered an injury in its lower jaw. The elephant was seen standing in the river with her mouth and trunk in the water for some relief from the pain after the explosive-filled fruit exploded in her mouth.
