Chandpur, Nov. 4 -- A young woman died on Monday morning after being bitten by a snake in Matlab Dakshin (South) upazila of Chandpur district.

The victim, Sharmin Akhtar, 21, was treated at Chandpur General Hospital with anti-venom on Sunday and initially seemed to recover.

But she fell ill again on Monday at her maternal grandmother's home in Nobokolos village and later died.

According to family members, Sharmin was bitten by a snake while going to the toilet on Saturday evening at her maternal grandmother's home.

Local traditional treatment was given before she was taken to the hospital, where she received anti-venom. But it was evidently too late.
