An Army soldier who had collapsed near the public toilets of Dambulla Bus stand earlier today (04) had passed away, Dambulla police say.
The victim has been identified as one Thushara Kumara Jayasinghe, a resident of Pallepola, Galewela. He had been attached to a camp in the Kosgama-Hanwella area.
The victim had collapsed when handing over the fee for using the toilet. However, around 30 minutes have elapsed for someone to volunteer to take him to hospital, as many had feared he was infected by Covid-19.
