The carcass of the eight-year old elephant was found in a drain near the workers colony of the Paneri Tea Estate this morning.
The cause of the elephant's death was yet to be ascertained.
During the year so far seven elephants died and six persons lost their lives due to trampling by pachyderms in the district.
As per post-mortem reports most of the elephants had died either due to electrocution or poisoning following man-elephant conflict, the sources said.
