    Very unfortunate and tragic end; RIP 😞! Many such cases are being reported intermittently regarding someone trying to use rat killing paste as toothpaste especially in the early morning darkness; but this appears different, maybe the medicine and poison were containers were kept close to each other! BTW; there were multiple complaints of one company packaging rat poison in plastic tubes very similar to toothpaste tubes after many gullible and old people succumbed by mistakenly using rat killing paste as toothpaste; unfortunately one cannot expect any improvement unless someone rich or famous succumbs to this type of an accident.....in third world countries anything is possible......where the Creator's creations have zilch value.....but people fight bloody fights in the names of some unknown Gods, Goddesses, Devas, Spirits etc etc.....what an irony??
