The boy told his mom that a feline bit his leg and attacked him when he was playing with his friends. When his parents heard this news, they rapidly took their child in Digdoh to Lata Mangeshkar Hospital, where the doctors said that he was dead. Then, for a postmortem inspection, the doctors moved the boy’s body to AIIMS.
After getting info regarding this tragic event, Hingana police claimed his death was accidental. Police also said they will find out the leading cause of his death after the postmortem. Furthermore, Dr Praveen Padve said that a cat bite incident leading to death is extremely rare and sad.
He states that a cat bite usually doesn’t result in death in such a limited time. However, because of the terror of the cat bite, the child started vomiting rapidly. In case the vomit doesn’t enter and exit the respiratory tract, it increases the risk of respiratory seizure and, afterward, a heart attack. Dr. Padve said that bites from other poisonous animals can be a reason.
In addition, even a minor injury on the leg can result in deadly outcomes because of hurtful injury. According to Tehsil Medical Officer Praveen Padve, the real cause of his death is not known currently. The postmortem results will find it out.
