13 Unidentified Bodies in 10 Days Amid Heat Spell Trigger Concern Nagpur: A surge in deaths of unidentified individuals has raised alarm in the city, with at least 13 such cases reported at the mortuaries of Govt Medical College Hospital (GMCH) and IGGMCH over the past 10 days. This spike coincides with an intense heatwave, as temperatures in the region have soared to 44-45 degrees Celsius, far exceeding the usual summer highs. While unidentified bodies are occasionally recorded at these facilities, health experts and officials note that the recent increase is unusual. Medical college authorities have ruled out heatstroke as the primary cause of death, emphasizing that definitive conclusions require in-depth clinical analysis. The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) health department has initiated death audits, a process that typically takes at least two months to complete. GMCH officials reported receiving eight unidentified bodies since April 17, while IGGMCH officials noted five such cases. The victims, all men aged between 35 and 60, were found lying by roadsides or compound walls of bungalows, with one body recovered from a tin shed in Sakkardara. Health experts have warned that prolonged exposure to extreme heat, particularly among vulnerable groups like the homeless, can lead to fatal outcomes without timely intervention. In response to the crisis, the NMC has intensified its mitigation efforts under the Heat Action Plan. Between April 16 and April 23, the civic body relocated approximately 50 homeless individuals to shelter homes to protect them from the scorching conditions. According to NMC health data, from March 1 to April 26, nearly 2.38 lakh patients visited OPDs operated by the corporation.#nagpur #nagpur_municipal_corporation #govt_medical_college_hospital #iggmch #butibori_manufacturers_association
