Indian pharmacist dies after drinking botched coronavirus treatment

An Indian pharmacist died and his boss was left hospitalised after the pair drank a chemical concoction they had developed in an effort to treat coronavirus, police said Saturday.

The men worked for a herbal medicine company and were testing their treatment -- a mix of nitric oxide and sodium nitrate -- at a home in southern Chennai city.


K Sivanesan, 47, died on the spot, said local police chief Ashok Kumar.

His colleague Rajkumar was recovering from the poisoning.

Kumar said Sivanesan bought the chemicals from a local market and developed the formula after conducting research on the internet.

There are no approved medicines or vaccines for treating COVID-19, triggering a global race for a new drug for the disease that has killed nearly 300,000 people.

Nearly 60,000 cases have been detected in India, which has imposed a drastic nationwide lockdown in an effort to halt the spread of the disease.

5 reasons the 2025 Met Gala will be the most iconic and revolutionary yet

The Met Gala has always been a spectacle, part fashion circus, part cultural reckoning, but this year, it’s not just about who wears what. It’s about who rewrites the rules. On 5 May 2025, the Metropolitan Museum of Art will transform into a cathedral of Black style, where every stitch will tell a story of defiance, elegance, and unapologetic flair.
