A 45-year-old man, who was among 32 people undergoing treatment at Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery in Dhaka following a gas cylinder blast in Gazipur, died at the institute on Friday morning.
Solaiman Molla sustained 95% burns and succumbed to his injuries around 10am at the intensive care unit, said Dr Hossain Imam, assistant director of the institute.
