Man shows crowds fallen piece of his skull

Hundreds of people are thronging a hospital in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata to see a patient holding a piece of his own skull that fell off.

Sambhu Roy

Doctors say a large, dead section of 25-year-old electrician Sambhu Roy's skull came away on Sunday after severe burns starved it of blood.

Roy was injured and almost killed when he was electrocuted while repairing a high voltage wire last October.

The piece came off on Sunday and hundreds of people and dozens of doctors now crowd around his bed, where he lies holding the bone.

Thanks Annemarie.
