New Delhi:A bizarre and tragic incident occurred in the Indian state of *Chhattisgarh*, where a 35-year-old man lost his life after swallowing a live chicken. The incident, which took place in *Chandiklo village* within the jurisdiction of *Darema Police Station*, has shocked the local community and medical experts alike.
According to *News 18*, *Anand Yadav* collapsed suddenly after taking a bath and became unconscious. His terrified relatives rushed him to the nearest hospital, but despite the doctors’ best efforts, he was declared dead. Initially, the cause of death could not be determined, but a post-mortem revealed the shocking reason behind his demise.
When doctors examined the body and made an incision near the victim’s throat, they discovered a 20 cm (approximately 8 inches) long chicken lodged in his windpipe. The bird had become trapped in his respiratory and digestive passages, ultimately leading to his death.
