A 70-year-old migrant worker was trampled to death by a wild elephant at Anapplam near Mundakkolly inside the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary on Saturday morning.
The deceased was identified as Kumaran, a native of Shivamogga in Karnataka. The incident took place on the Kerala-Tamil Nadu inter-State highway around 6 a.m. when Kumaran was going to the work site at Cheeral.
Though he was rushed to the taluk hospital at Sulthan Bathery, he succumbed to injuries, Forest Department sources said.
