DHAKA, June 2 (AFP) Jun 02, 2007 A heat wave over the last week has killed at least 15 people in
Bangladesh, including a man playing soccer on Saturday, police said.
Jagat Gyan Chakma, 20, collapsed and died at a soccer field at Longadu,
350 kilometres (218 miles) south of the capital, Dhaka, while playing in
front of hundreds of spectators, police officer Wahid Ahmed said. Temperatures have reached 41 degrees Celsius (106 Fahrenheit) during the
heatwave, which is likely to continue for two or three days until
monsoon rains bring relief, weather office spokesman Shahjahan Alam told
AFP.
