A coronavirus-infected Nepali died of brain stroke while undergoing treatment at a hospital in the United Kingdom. Prof Dr Chandra Laksamba, a permanent resident of Sikaincha, Taplejung, who has long been residing in the UK, passed away at Farnabaro-based hospital in Britain, shared his colleague Dr Krishna Adhikari.

Dr Laksamba was an academic personality with his ex-Gurkha background. He was put on ventilator after brain stroke while being treated at the hospital after contracting the coronavirus since last January 18. His surgery could not take place due to high blood pressure, the hospital sources said.
