A Delhi-based model, Divyanshu Joshi, who visited Kerala for an advertisement shoot, drowned after he went swimming in an abandoned quarry. Mudakuzha Panchayat President Shimy Varghese called the quarry a "death trap", revealing that earlier some people drowned there. An official said the quarry was dug in shape of inverted spiral pyramid, and Joshi may have slipped into deeper water.
