During the post-mortem examination, doctors were baffled by the cause of death until an incision near his throat revealed the presence of a live chick lodged inside. The bird, measuring approximately 20 cm, had blocked both his airway and food passage, leading to asphyxiation.
Dr Santu Bag, who conducted the autopsy, expressed shock at the case. "In my career of performing over 15,000 post-mortems, this is the first time I have encountered such an incident," Dr Bag said.
The peculiar nature of Yadav's death has led villagers to speculate that it was linked to occult practices. Some locals claimed Yadav had been consulting a tantrik (occultist) due to his struggle with infertility. They believe swallowing the live chick may have been part of a ritual aimed at helping him conceive a child.
