Prateek Yadav, 38, dies in Lucknow on Wednesday morning after a sudden deterioration in health. Multiple reports say a call is received from his residence in the early hours of the day—around 4:55 am—after he experiences worsening symptoms. He is taken to a civil hospital, where he is declared dead. Sources cited by outlets say a chest X-ray is carried out before an autopsy begins, and that the postmortem is conducted at KGMU (King George’s Medical University). One report cites the postmortem findings as indicating cardiac arrest, blood clotting, and cardio-respiratory collapse. Another report describes his illness as lung-related. His mortal remains are later consigned to flames in Lucknow, according to one outlet.
Authorities are reported to be carrying out the postmortem, and details about the exact medical cause are based on the postmortem report and hospital sources.
