Sassoon General Hospital Psychiatry Head dies while trekking in Himachal Pradesh
Sundargarh AYUSH Doctor Found Dead
Pune: A trekking trip in Himachal Pradesh turned tragic for a 42-year-old doctor, Head of the Psychiatry Department at BJ Medical College (BJMC) and Sassoon General Hospital (SGH), who passed away due to breathing difficulties while trekking in the Buran Ghati region.
The deceased has been identified as Dr Nitin Abhivant, who suddenly collapsed during a base-level trek. Despite immediate efforts by his two friends, both medical professionals, to revive him, he did not respond to the medical assistance and tragically passed away.
While the post-mortem report is still awaited to determine the exact cause of death, doctors suspect that a sudden heart attack may have been the reason.
The incident occurred after Dr Nitin was on an expedition with his friends. He left Mumbai with a group of college friends for the trek on June 7 and unfortunately died on June 9.
