Bhubaneswar: Setting an example for others to follow, for the noble cause of body donation, a man has gifted the body of his 76-year-old wife to the city-based Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) for medical education, training and research.

Manorama Sarangi (76) died due to cardiac arrest at her N1-54 residence in IRC Village in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday. She was also not suffering from any chronic disease. Her husband Sudarshan Sarangi, in presence of all his family members, donated the body of his wife to KIMS on Tuesday.
