Prateek Yadav, the younger son of late Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav, died in Lucknow on Wednesday. He was 38.
Prateek died of “cardiorespiratory collapse due to massive pulmonary thromboembolism”, the autopsy report from Lucknow’s King George’s Medical University revealed on Wednesday. It added that six “antemortem” (before death) injuries were also found on the body.
Hours after his death, BJP MP Ravi Kishan shared his condolences for the family and expressed shock over the sudden demise.
Ravi Kishan told ANI, “Very sad! He was a health freak; he had a gym business. He was also in the construction business. I knew him very well; he had a very gentle and polite personality. He kept himself away from politics. Sadly, he died at the age of 38.”
“I knew that maybe his treatment had been going on for the past few days. But this is very shocking and sad. He has two daughters. As soon as I woke up and came to know about it, I felt very sad. It is a difficult phase for his wife and kids,” the actor added.
