Family members of Krishna Kumar said they took him to Ganpati Hospital in Saran after he vomited several times. "We admitted him and the vomiting stopped soon after. But the doctor Ajit Kumar Puri said he needs to be operated upon. He conducted the operation by watching videos on YouTube. My son died later," Chandan Shaw.

The family members said they do not know if the 'doctor' had proper qualifications. "We think he was self-styled and fake," they said.

The teenager's grandfather said the boy was feeling better after the vomiting stopped. "But the doctor sent the father away on an errand and started operating on the boy without the family's consent. The boy was in pain. When we asked the doctor why he was in pain, he snapped at us and asked if we were doctors. Later in the evening, the boy stopped breathing. He was revived (with CPR) and then rushed to Patna. He died on the way. They left the boy's body on the stairs of the hospital and fled," said Krishna Kumar's grandfather Prahlad Prasad Shaw.

The couple took over a decade to actually join the club, with annual dues of $31,500, but spending closer to $125,000 a year to visit the Anaheim parks. They were expelled from the club five years later when park security guards found the husband intoxicated in the park, a violation of club rules. The couple has since spent $400,000 suing to regain access to the club and ‘clear his reputation,’ claiming he was not drunk but suffering from a “vestibular migraine” which looks a lot like being drunk and can be triggered by red wine. They claim they were targeted for retaliation because they complained about a different club member harassing other club members and staff.

The couple plan to appeal.

Police in Kentucky are looking for a man who has defecated on the same porch multiple times over the past week for no apparent reason.

Louisville Metro Police say they have received three police reports about the alleged “porch pooper,” who’s since gained lots of attention online after doorbell videos of him have been posted on Reddit and Instagram.

The homeowner, who did not want to be identified, being targeted by the so-called porch pooper said he first noticed something was up on Tuesday.

“I went out to my front porch that morning and noticed what I thought was cat poop,” he said.

The homeowner said he cleaned it up and checked his Nest doorbell camera from the night before and that’s when he realized it certainly wasn’t a cat.

“Not only did he defecate, but he also urinated on our welcome mat,” he said.

The cult of personality surrounding Elon Musk appears to have reached a new peak. ... a giant bronze statue of Elon Musk has been spotted being transported on a flatbed towed by a Tesla Cybertruck.

...

The giant Elon Musk statue was spotted in Brownsville, Texas, where Elon Musk's space venture, SpaceX, is building Starbase, a launch pad and rocket factory that will produce the next-generation SpaceX Starship rocket.

...

There is a lot of excitement for SpaceX and Elon Musk in the area and a group calling itself ElonRWA appears to have set up shop in Brownsville, and this group is behind the Elon Musk statue.

...

ElonRWA took possession of the original drawing of Elon Musk and turned it into an NFT (non-fungible token). After the image is turned into an NFT, you can now buy and own a part of the digital asset.

...

the giant Elon Musk statue being towed by a Cybertruck is an attempt to gain notoriety and direct people to purchase a fraction of the Elon Musk drawing NFT and own a piece of the meme.
