Mumbai police and medical officials report that a hospital test does not find evidence of a bacterial infection in the bodies of four family members who died after eating watermelon. According to the reports, the deceased were part of a single family case, and investigations initially considered possible food-borne illness. The findings from the hospital indicate that bacterial infection is not present in the samples examined. Both outlets state that the investigation is ongoing and that authorities will rely on further forensic work to determine the exact cause of death. Police indicate that the definitive cause will be established once a forensic science laboratory submits its report. The next stage of the probe is expected to clarify whether the deaths were linked to something other than a bacterial infection, including any toxic or other non-bacterial factors related to the fruit or surrounding circumstances. The case continues under police investigation as authorities await the laboratory’s findings.
