44-yr-old man dies in hosp, Covid report awaited

Noida: A 44-year-old man, who was suffering from fever and cough, died at the district hospital in Sector 30 on Wednesday, sparking fears of yet another Covid death.
Even though doctors attributed his death to heart attack, his family members pressed for a Covid test, claiming he had shown symptoms.
According to his family members, Narendra Kumar, a cabby who weighed over 100kg, was down with fever for the past three days. “He vomited late on Wednesday night and was taken to the district hospital where he died,” his daughter told TOI.
Following the family’s request, the Noida police got his post-mortem and a Covid test done, despite doctors attributing his death to heart attack. Rajneesh Tyagi, an official from Sector 49 police station, said the Covid test was conducted by the doctors at the hospital before the autopsy.
“His Covid-19 test report is awaited, but the post-mortem was conducted. We don’t know when the reports will come but he was cremated in the Antim Niwas in Sector 94 early on Thursday,” said another relative.
