இரண்டாவது சிறுவனும் Toronto வைத்தியசாலையில் மரணம்

Featured Replies

A 15-year-old boy who fell through pond ice near his Scarborough home with a friend eight days ago has died in hospital without ever regaining consciousness.

Kishoban Alakeswaran was throwing stones on a frozen pond near Morningside Ave. and Finch Ave. E. with his 11-year-old friend Brunthan Nadarajah when he went through the thin ice.

Brunthan drowned while trying to rescue Kishoban, who later remained unconscious in the Hospital for Sick Children while his parents and family kept a constant bedside vigil. He was taken off life support early Sunday as his parents prayed.

Sunday night, stricken relatives and friends gathered at the home of Kishoban's parents.

"He was a very nice kid. Very independent," said a cousin Nithja Varatharajan, 18, who described the teen as an extremely bright student in Grade 10 at Woburn Collegiate.

Friends and family said they could easily imagine him succeeding in a career that involved computers and science.

"All his marks were above 90 this term and his lowest mark was 90," the cousin said.

The oldest of three children, Kishoban's family emigrated to Canada from Sri Lanka in 2000.

His brother, 14, and 9-year-old sister both looked up to him, the cousin said. She said the family prayed, believing the critically injured teen would somehow pull through.

"Even when the doctors said they couldn't help him, his mother had faith and believed he'd come home, and now she's really devastated." A funeral service is planned for Thursday.

Brunthan was buried Saturday in Highland Memorial Gardens on Don Mills Rd., with police officers involved in the rescue effort serving as pallbearers. Brunthan's family, from Sri Lanka, faces deportation. Canadian security officials say his father, Muralidaran Nadarajah,is linked to the Tamil Tigers.
