A 45-year-old construction worker in Chennai, V. Murugan, died July 15 after not getting medical help for a stray dog bite he got a month earlier.
The bite happened in Chitra Nagar, Kotturpuram, but Murugan did not take anti-rabies shots, reportedly because of his struggles with alcohol.
Police are now looking into what happened.
