A 45-year-old man died on Sunday morning while undergoing treatment at MY Hospital, three months after being bitten by a stray dog. Family members said his condition had been deteriorating steadily and he had developed a fear of water, a classic symptom of rabies. He was admitted on September 5 with symptoms of hydrophobia, aerophobia and abnormal behaviour. Preliminary investigation suggests the cause of death was rabies.
