The incident
The arranged marriage took place on Thursday evening, and the rituals and celebrations lasted all night. On Friday morning, Pandey puked blood and lost consciousness. His relatives rushed him to KEM Hospital, where he was admitted to the emergency ward around 2.30 pm. Within a few hours, he died.
Dr Deepa Patodekar, assistant medical officer, said that the exact cause of death is yet to be ascertained as it can be established only after receiving the post-mortem report. “Generally, when we come across any patient with an extensive medical history of cancer or heart disease, we first try to stabilise the patient from the complication he/she faces and then try to work on the ailment. However in this case, we were yet to diagnose the issue when the patient passed away,” said Patodekar.
When sunday mid-day tried to contact Dr MB Agarwal, hematologist, who was treating Pandey since the past three years, his assistant said he is out of town and will be reachable only on Monday.
