Three officials on election duty die from suspected natural causes
Three officials deployed on election duty, one police officer and two civil officers, have died suddenly from reported natural causes, the police said.
At a special media briefing today, Police Spokesman DIG Nihal Thalduwa confirmed that all three officials experienced sudden illnesses while on duty in various locations this morning.
Among the deceased was a 33-year-old police officer stationed at a school in the Urumburai area in Kopai, who is believed to have suffered a heart attack.
A 48-year-old woman, serving as the chief of the polling station at Siri Sadaham Bhikshu Aramaya in Kesbewa, also died after falling ill on duty; she was a resident of Payagala and passed away after being admitted to Piliyandala Hospital.
Additionally, a 57-year-old man on the polling center staff in Kobeigane died after a sudden illness while on duty.
DIG Thalduwa added that post-mortem examinations are scheduled to confirm the causes of death, though initial reports suggest heart attacks as a likely cause in all three cases.
