The Kin of the deceased revealed that he was a private employee at a firm in the city and a sportsperson who played cricket, and badminton on daily basis after his working hours.
An increase in the frequency of these incidents is an alarm towards intense emotional and physical stress which most citizens complain about these days, in addition to alcohol consumption rifting heavily.
Need for CPR awareness for all
