A Covid patient in MP’s Vidisha was declared dead twice in a day, the first time because of an error by the staff, leaving his family on the tenterhooks.

The first time the hospital authorities issued the death certificate, family members rushed to the crematorium to arrange for wood only to be told that he was still on ventilator. He finally died around 6pm on Thursday.

The 58-year-old patient, a native of Sultania village in Vidisha, was admitted to Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical College on April 12 with a ‘neck ailment’. His family says he wasn’t a Covid patient at the time of admission.

He was first declared dead on Thursday afternoon and the death certificate was issued. Soon, his family members told that he was still alive. A few hours later, the family was again told that he had died.
