An unidentified man, believed to be around 40 to 45 years old, was found unconscious near Gaddigodam Chowk in the Sadar area on the night of Wednesday, June 12, and was later declared dead at Mayo Hospital. With no visible injuries on the body, police suspect that heatstroke could be a possible cause of death.
The man was discovered lying unresponsive by the roadside between 8:30 pm and 10:00 pm. Alerted by passersby, police personnel rushed him to Mayo Hospital for treatment, but doctors pronounced him dead on arrival.
Given the ongoing high temperatures in the city and the absence of physical injuries, police believe the extreme heat may have contributed to his death. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has noted that the southwest monsoon has yet to resume over Nagpur and is now expected to arrive by June 14.
The delayed monsoon has kept the city under sweltering conditions, raising the risk of heat-related illnesses. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to confirm the exact cause of death.
Sadar Police have registered a case of accidental death, and further investigation is being carried out by Sub-Inspector Gusinge.
Authorities have urged residents to take necessary precautions against heatstroke, including staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun during peak hours.
