Prateek Yadav, the stepson of late Mulayam Singh Yadav, died from a massive pulmonary thromboembolism that led to cardiorespiratory collapse [1, 2, 3].
The disclosure of the medical cause of death provides closure regarding the death of a figure connected to prominent Indian political families in Uttar Pradesh.
Medical examiners conducted the post-mortem at the Civil Hospital in Lucknow [2, 4]. The report identifies a massive pulmonary thromboembolism, a blood clot in the lungs, as the immediate cause of the cardiorespiratory collapse [1, 2, 3].
Yadav was 38 years old at the time of his death [1]. The post-mortem report further specified that all injuries found on the body were antemortem, meaning they occurred before death [5].
Yadav was the husband of Aparna Yadav, a leader within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) [1, 4]. His death marks a significant loss for the family of the late Mulayam Singh Yadav, a former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh.
The findings from the Lucknow Civil Hospital clarify the physiological events that led to the fatality, ruling out post-mortem injuries as contributing factors to the cause of death [2, 5].
“Prateek Yadav died from a massive pulmonary thromboembolism that led to cardiorespiratory collapse.”
The confirmation of a pulmonary thromboembolism as the cause of death clarifies that the fatality was the result of a critical medical event rather than external trauma or foul play. Given the high profile of the Yadav family in Uttar Pradesh politics, the transparency of the post-mortem report from the Lucknow Civil Hospital serves to prevent public speculation regarding the circumstances of the 38-year-old's death.
