Anand's family members rushed him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
As the cause of death could not be determined during the post-mortem, doctors performed an incision near Anand's throat, which revealed a live chick lodged inside. The chick measured around 20 cm in length.
According to a report by India Today, Dr. Santu Bag, who performed the autopsy, said,“This is the first time I have encountered such a case in my career.”
Dr Santu further explained that the chick had obstructed both the airway and the food passage, likely causing asphyxiation.
