How did the elephant die?

An elephant in Kerala recently died after eating a pineapple stuffed with crackers, reportedly placed by some locals. It is said that the pregnant elephant had left the forests of Silent Valley in Palakkad district, wandering into a nearby village in search of food and that is where she ate the pineapple. The fruit exploded in her mouth and left her in severe pain as she walked around the village for days. She was unable to eat anything because of her injuries and she eventually died standing on the banks of a river.
