Anand Kumar Yadav felt dizzy and passed out shortly after getting out of the bath on Saturday, December 14, according to his family. He was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy was performed to determine the cause of death.
The pathologist was stunned when he made an incision on Yadav's throat and discovered the carcass of a young bird.
Dr. Santu Bagh told local media in Ambikapur, Chhattisgarh state, “In my career, I have performed more than 15,000 autopsies. And this is the first case I have come across. When we opened the throat, we saw a whole chick. One part of the chick was stuck in trachea of the deceased, and the other – in the esophagus.”
