Santosh, a resident of Indiranagar, was driving to his office when he began experiencing chest pain on Brookfield Road. He managed to park his car on the roadside but remained inside for hours without stepping out. His prolonged presence inside the vehicle raised suspicion among locals, who eventually broke the car’s glass in the evening, only to find him unresponsive.

Upon being alerted, HAL police rushed to the spot and conducted an inspection. Preliminary investigations confirmed that Santosh had died of a heart attack. Reports also indicated that he had a history of high blood sugar, which may have contributed to his sudden demise.

Authorities identified the deceased through his car registration number and promptly informed his family. A case of Unnatural Death Report (UDR) was registered at the HAL police station.

The incident has raised concerns over growing health risks, particularly among IT professionals leading sedentary lifestyles. Experts continue to stress the importance of regular health check-ups and immediate medical attention when experiencing symptoms of distress. Santosh’s sudden passing serves as a grim reminder of the unpredictability of health emergencies.
