Dhruvi Gohil was a 16-year-old student from Borivali, Mumbai.
She was extremely smart and was a very good student.
This young girl died on the day of her 16th Birthday.
Let me tell you about it.
Dhruvi was preparing for her exams till late night.
The next day she went to have a bath around 6.45 am.
Her parents said that she wanted to wash her hair. You all know women take a long time to wash their hair.
She went inside in the bathroom at 6:45 for a shower
while her parents were busy with their chores.
It had been a while but then her parents realised she was washing her hair so there was no problem.
However from 6:45am it was now 8:00am. It had been too long and they became worried.
They started knocking on the door of the bathroom but there was no response.
Her parents then broke open the door and found Dhruvi was found unconscious,
The right side of her body burnt due to hot water.
They immediately took her to the hospital.
According to Dr Vivek Chaurasia, Dhruvi was then taken to the hospital and she was unconscious.
The doctors then put her on a ventilator.
The next day her brain started swelling, she got convulsions and then she died.
The Doctors who were treating her were neurologists.
According to the doctors, Dhruvi died because of the heaters.
Let me explain.
Gas geysers consume oxygen to generate heat for warming water.
Since it has become cold in Mumbai, the family had completely closed the windows in the bathroom.
The girl just like all human was breathing in oxygen and exhaling Carbon Dioxide.
However in the bathroom, since there was no ventilation, the geyser consumed all the oxygen in the bathroom.
The girl was exhaling carbon dioxide. This gas is not at all good for the body.
There was no source of oxygen because all the windows were shut due to the cold and the increasing Carbon Dioxide is very bad for health.
The geyser continued to consume the oxygen and levels of oxygen kept decreasing.
She continuously exhaling and inhaling the same carbon dioxide which is extremely bad for health.
Doctors say the dangerous carbon dioxide caused her to faint.
After she fainted she remained there from 6:45 to 8:00am.
She was unconscious for around 1 hr 15 mins almost 75 minutes.
She was also getting convulsions and then she died.
Doctors say that Senior citizens and people with respiratory illness are more prone to suffer.
if there is no ventilation in the bathroom.
Doctors have said it is better to crack the window open so that fresh oxygen can circulate in the bathroom.
