A 60-year old man was killed when the rain-soaked wall of his house fell on him in neighbouring Tirupur District early today, police said.
Makali, working as a watchman in a school, was sitting near the side wall of the house at Oomeyanchettipalayam when it suddenly collapsed.
The man was caught under the debris and died on the spot, police said.
The wall has totally become wet due to heavy rains being experienced in the area, they said.
