The last time Rithaika Sri Omtri spoke to her mother, she complained of a headache. It had started a few days earlier. Persistent, unusual and easy to dismiss. Then came the tingling in her fingers. Soon, she was in a coma.
“Her head was constantly hurting,” Omtri’s mother, Rachana Gangu, recalls in an interview with The Independent. “She was throwing up, it wouldn’t stop.”
