Nagpur: Two unidentified men were found unconscious and later declared dead in separate incidents under the jurisdictions of Nagpur Police on May 26 and May 27, with police suspecting sunstroke as a possible cause amid the prevailing heatwave conditions in the city.

In the first incident, an unidentified man aged around 65 years was found unconscious beneath a flyover near a pillar opposite Krishna Bhojanalaya in the Lakadganj area at around 1.15 am on May 27. Police personnel rushed the man to Mayo Hospital for treatment, where doctors declared him dead after examination.

The deceased has not yet been identified. Police have appealed to citizens who may recognize the man to contact Lakadganj Police Station.

Based on information provided by complainant Monish Shafi Qureshi (23), a resident of Bhandewadi near Amina Electronics in Pardi, an accidental death case has been registered by PSI Sonal Shinde. Further investigation is underway.

In another similar case, an unidentified man aged around 50 years was found unconscious near Khala No. 3 at the Kalamna Foot Market between 3 pm and 3.30 pm on May 26 under the jurisdiction of Kalamna Police Station.

Police shifted the man to Mayo Hospital, where doctors declared him dead during treatment. His identity is yet to be established.

Following medical information received in the case, police have registered an accidental death report and initiated further investigation. Officials have also appealed to the public to help identify the deceased.

With Nagpur witnessing soaring temperatures over the past few days, preliminary suspicion points towards possible sunstroke-related deaths, though the exact cause will be confirmed after medical examination reports.
