A 27-year-old man, who reportedly consumed a concoction to reduce his weight, died at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital on Thursday.
According to the police, Pradeep Kumar, 27, a resident of Tiruveedhi Amman Koil Street in Ayyapakkam, was in the real estate business.
Two days ago, he purchased the concoction from a pushcart vendor near his locality. “He consumed it on Wednesday morning,” said a police officer attached to the Thirumullaivoyal police station.
On feeling uneasy around noon, he went for a check-up to a private hospital near his house, the police said. “He returned home after being told everything was normal,” the officer said.
On Wednesday night, he complained of nausea and giddiness and was rushed to the GH. He died on Thursday morning.
Awaiting report
A senior police officer said that the exact cause of death would be known only after getting the post-mortem report.
Authorities in the GH said the concoction was a herbal preparation. “He was admitted on Wednesday night in a very critical condition after being referred from a nursing home at Ambattur. After six hours, he died,” said a doctor.
