A 51-year-old woman named Shaila Gonsalves, known as Charlette, met a tragic end in Virar after being bitten by a venomous snake inside her kitchen. The incident occurred at 5:00 AM on Tuesday morning, transforming a typical morning routine into a grim ordeal. Gonsalves, a mother of two and a healthcare worker at Seabird Medical Centre in Andheri, was initially treated at a local clinic following the snake bite.
However, as the venom began to take effect, her condition rapidly deteriorated. Over the next 20 hours, Gonsalves was transferred to three different hospitals - a private clinic, Bolinj Municipal Hospital, and ultimately Sanjeevani Hospital in Virar. Despite emergency care and injections, she could not be saved. She passed away at 1:30 AM on Wednesday. Gonsalves is remembered by her husband and two daughters.
