Couple needs flight seats to repatriate son's body to India from UAE

Dubai - The boy was diagnosed with blood cancer 15 days ago.

As the body of four-year old Vyshnav Krishnadas lies listless in an Al Ain mortuary, his parents are inconsolable.
Krishnadas and wife Divya from Palakkad, Kerala, have no time to grieve peacefully as they are knocking on all doors to be able to fly the mortal remains of their son to Kerala at the earliest.
Vyshnav died of leukemia on Friday at Al Tawam hospital in Al Ain, a close relative told Khaleej Times.
"We have been trying all means to repatriate his body on a special flight. His parents and elder sister also want to accompany the body and cremate the body with all religious rites," said the boy's uncle, Sivadas Cheppilakattil.
"The boy was diagnosed with blood cancer 15 days ago. Until then, everything was fine and he was healthy and happy."
According to him, Vyshnav was admitted in the hospital but his body did not respond to chemotherapy. "His parents are devastated by the sudden death of their son. Now their only wish is to be able to fly home and cremate him. But so far, they have not got their seats confirmed.
