The deceased has been identified as Ravi Chandran, son of Chellappan, a resident of Varuvilakathu Veedu, Meppookada, Malayinkeezhu. The Malayinkeezhu police have registered a case in connection with the incident.
According to police, the accident took place around 10.45 am in front of a marble shop named ‘ KD Marbles’ when a truck containing a load of marble blocks were being unloaded.

However, the labourers could not withstand the weight of the block while unloading and eventually the block fell over Ravi.
