A 19-year-old from Gujarat tragically passed away due to a suspected cardiac arrest while participating in the traditional Garba dance in Jamnagar. The young man, identified as Vinit Mehulbhai Kunvariya, was rushed to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival. This unfortunate incident occurred in the Patel Park neighborhood.
The teenager had a strong passion for dancing and was practicing at a Garba class in the Patel Park area in preparation for the upcoming Navratri festival. Unexpectedly, he collapsed after completing the first round of the dance. He was initially taken to a nearby private hospital and later transferred to GG Hospital, where he was declared deceased upon admission, according to a report by Times of India.
A family member of Mr. Kunvariya stated to the media that he was practicing at the ‘Step & Style Dandiya Academy’ in Jamnagar when he suddenly collapsed around 10:30 pm on Monday. It was emphasized that the 19-year-old had no preexisting health conditions and appeared to be in good health.
It’s important to note that common factors contributing to heart issues in young individuals include a family history of heart disease, coexisting medical conditions like diabetes and hypertension, obesity, lifestyle factors, stress, and a lack of physical activity.
Tragically, Mr. Kunvariya’s passing is part of a concerning trend where several instances of young people suddenly collapsing and, in some cases, losing their lives, have been reported on social media. Medical experts have expressed their worry about these incidents.
In a related incident earlier this month, a young man collapsed while running on a treadmill at a gym in Saraswati Vihar, Ghaziabad. The victim, Siddharth Kumar Singh, suffered a sudden and fatal heart attack during his exercise routine.
