Nagpur: An unidentified man, approximately 70 years of age, was found unconscious near Itwari Railway Station late Tuesday, April 29 evening and was later declared dead at Mayo Hospital. With Nagpur’s temperature soaring past 42 degrees Celsius, police suspect sunstroke as a possible cause of death.

The man was discovered around 10:15 PM near Bharti Akhada, behind the railway quarters in the Shantinagar Police Station limits. He was immediately shifted to Mayo Hospital by the police, where he was examined and declared dead on arrival.

The intense heatwave gripping the city has raised concerns about heat-related health risks, particularly among the elderly and homeless. Shantinagar Police have registered a case of accidental death based on medical reports, and further investigation is underway.
