A 24-year-old police constable passed away, allegedly due to a cardiac arrest, during a workout at a gym in Hyderabad on Thursday. The constable, identified as Vishal was a resident of Bowenpally and posted at Asif Nagar police station.
This is yet another case of sudden cardiac death that have been reported in recent times. As per the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), one-fifth of all deaths in India are caused by heart attacks, cardiac arrests, and strokes, including in the younger population.
In the video that has surfaced on the internet, Vishal is seen doing push-ups. After finishing his set, he moves to another area and appears to be coughing while leaning forward.
Vishal takes the support of a gym machine nearby but his coughing becomes vigorous. Moments later, he sits on the ground and collapses.
