The incident was reported from Vellikulangara forest range in Thrissur's Kodakara.
A forest officer said the young tuskless male elephant, which strayed into the area inhabited by humans by demolishing the solar fencing, was found dead with its face falling first into the septic tank.
The elephant was lifted from the area using a crane after widening the hole. The elephant was then dragged on to a truck which lay 150 metres away. It was buried after the postmortem.
