BLUEPRINT
An Indian man narrowly escaped being cremated alive after he awoke on a funeral pyre moments before it was set alight, following a doctor’s failure to perform a postmortem examination, medical officials said on Saturday, November 23.
Rohitash Kumar, a 25-year-old man with speaking and hearing difficulties, was taken to a hospital in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, on Thursday after falling sick. Reports indicate he had suffered an epileptic seizure. However, a doctor declared him dead upon arrival at the hospital.
