The man, hailing from a village near north Paravur, was undergoing treatment at a private hospital
for the last 54 days.
Over 54,000 people were rescued in Ernakulam district, mainly in Paravur and Aluva taluks which had witnessed heavy rains
and severe water logging in the past two days.
According to tradition, Thomas reached Muziris,(modern-day North Paravur and Kodungalloor in the state of Kerala, India) in AD 52 and converted several people,
founding what today are known as Saint Thomas Christians or Mar Thoma Nazranis.
