Last month, a 19-year-old boy died in the southern Indian state of Telangana while dancing during a wedding. The boy collapsed on the ground in the middle of his routine, with doctors suggesting that he may have suffered a cardiac arrest. The incident took place in Pardi village of Nirmal district, about 200 kilometres from the capital city of Hyderabad. The entire episode was caught on video which has since gone viral on social media platforms.

In the video, the boy, wearing black trousers, white shirt and a vest can be seen joyfully dancing to the song playing in the background. He looks perfectly fine while putting on a show as his friends cheer around. However, 40 seconds into the video, the boy hunches forward and a few seconds later collapses face-first into the ground. The friends around think that it is part of the dance routine and cheer him. But the boy lies there unconscious.

The boy was rushed to the Bhainsa Area hospital, but it was too late as the doctors declared him dead, reported media outlet WION.
