Prateek Yadav, the 38-year-old son of the late Mulayam Singh Yadav, founder of the Samajwadi Party, died unexpectedly due to severe health complications. A senior doctor, Dr. Ruchita Sharma from Medanta Hospital, reported that Yadav was battling deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, and cardiac issues. His provisional postmortem report indicated that the cause of death was cardiorespiratory collapse resulting from massive pulmonary thromboembolism, where a significant blood clot obstructs lung arteries, leading to sudden heart failure. Yadav, known for his fitness and operation of a gym in Lucknow, had been hospitalized on April 29 after experiencing breathlessness and chest discomfort. Despite being a diligent patient who adhered to his medical regimen, his condition was complicated by hypertension and DVT, which ultimately made him a high-risk patient. His untimely death has left many in shock, particularly those who knew him as a health-conscious individual.
