A chilling discovery in Hyderabad, Telangana has left the city shaken. An elderly couple, both visually impaired, lived unknowingly with their deceased son’s body for four long days. The tragic incident came to light on Monday, October 28, when concerned neighbors detected a foul smell emanating from the couple’s home. They immediately alerted the police, setting in motion a series of events that would expose a heartbreaking truth.
Upon arriving at the residence in the Blinds Colony of Nagole Police Station area, police officers found the 30-year-old son deceased. Initial investigations suggest he passed away in his sleep approximately four to five days prior. The elderly parents, both over 60, were found lying beside their son’s body in a semi-conscious state. They had been unaware of their son’s death, their feeble voices going unheard by their neighbors.
The couple’s plight underscores the vulnerability of the elderly and the vital importance of community support. They had been attempting to call out to their son for food and water, but received no response. Their weak voices, however, were not audible to their neighbors, adding another layer of tragedy to this heartbreaking situation.
Police officers immediately rescued the couple, providing them with food and water. Their elder son, residing in another part of the city, was contacted and informed of the devastating news. The parents were entrusted to his care, marking the beginning of a long road to recovery and healing.
The body of the deceased son was sent for a post-mortem examination, while the police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding his death. This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of community awareness and the need to reach out to vulnerable individuals, ensuring their safety and well-being.
In another disturbing incident, a couple perished due to asphyxiation while another family member sustained injuries in a fire accident that occurred late Monday night in the Rein Bazar police station area. The family was preparing food for the Diwali festival when sparks from a gas stove ignited a box of firecrackers, causing a blaze that rapidly spread throughout their two-room house. The couple succumbed to smoke inhalation, while a young girl was hospitalized in critical condition due to asphyxiation.
This series of tragic events underscores the importance of safety precautions during festive celebrations, emphasizing the need for caution and awareness to prevent similar incidents from occurring. The city of Hyderabad, grappling with these tragedies, is reminded of the fragility of life and the need for heightened vigilance in the face of unforeseen circumstances.
