19-year-old youth ‘suffers’ cardiac arrest
Police waived the compulsory autopsy rule in respect of a Dubai resident
who died of a heart stroke on an Emirates flight, which made an emergency
landing at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in the early hours of
Tuesday.
The passenger identified as Ali Ibrahim Parvwish Sangoor Al-Valooshi
(19), was on his way to Bangkok from Dubai, for treatment of obesity. The
Emirates flight Ek-374 made the emergency landing after he developed health
complications. The pilots radioed the RGIA control and sought permission for
emergency landing.
A medical team headed by doctors of Apollo clinic at RGIA was on the
standby when the aircraft landed at 5.04 a.m. The doctor who went aboard
examined Al-Valooshi and declared him dead. He is believed to have suffered a
cardiac arrest and breathed his last. Following this declaration, the body was
deplaned and his family members terminated their travel plans. The body was
shifted to the RGIA clinic and police called in.
Technically, Section 174 of Cr.P.C empowers the police to issue a first
information report on any suspicious death and investigate the cause of death
by way of examining the body and ask for an autopsy report from a forensic
expert. What seemed to have convinced the police to waive the compulsory
autopsy rule in this case was a letter given by the young man’s father, Ibrahim
declaring that he did not suspect any foul play in the death. The body was
embalmed in Osmania General Hospital. The relatives are waiting to take it back
to Dubai in the first available flight out of Hyderabad.
