A 23-year-old man died of a suspected heart attack in the Kamla Nagar area of Bhopal on Wednesday evening, just a few hours after he complained of chest pain. His family initially thought it was gastric pain and attempted to help by massaging his chest.
Incident Details
According to the family, after the massage, he seemed to feel better and proceeded to perform his daily puja. However, he suddenly collapsed. The family rushed him to a nearby hospital, but he was declared dead on arrival.
Victim Identification
Assistant Sub-Inspector JV Singh, the investigating officer, identified the victim as Jubin Yadav, a resident of P&T Colony in Kamla Nagar. He was a third-year BCom student at a private college in Kolar. His father works as an electrician.
The officer stated that Yadav complained of chest pain around 5 pm on Wednesday to his parents and elder brother. After the chest rub, he appeared relieved and began browsing on his smartphone. Later, around 8:30 pm, after taking a bath, he sat down for puja and collapsed.
Medical Background
The ASI said that the family informed the police that Yadav had no known medical history and did not engage in substance abuse. The exact cause of death will be determined after an autopsy.
This incident highlights the importance of recognizing heart attack symptoms and seeking immediate medical attention. Chest pain should never be dismissed as gastric discomfort, especially in young adults.
