MANHATTAN -- Kansas State 1xbet online sports betting is helping students affected by a fire at an off-campus apartment building around midnight Feb. 7 that killed a 1xbet online sports betting postdoctoral researcher.
Vasanta Lakshmi Pallem, 34, who worked in the 1xbet online sports betting 's chemical engineering department, died of smoke inhalation at Mercy Regional Health Center, where she was transported from the blaze at 820 Sunset Ave. in Manhattan.
