    Some investigation has to be carried out to pin point why & how this tragedy happened. According to some doctors some simple over the counter tablets like aspirin & paracetamol can enhance the chances of having either heart attack or cardiac arrest in later days due to adverse drug reactions. Another angle- is her home near cellphone tower, whether it is now tested for 5G? According to some doctors & scientists the 5G electrical signals are similar to that of our hearts receive from brain which might cause sudden cardiac arrest in some vulnerable people, in some places in Europe where 5G was tested some birds dropped dead which later were found to be died due to cardiac arrest!

    Cant believe .So young and already in Gods hand.May her soul rest in peace.Heartfelt sympathy to her family.I believe here it was not the real cardiac arrest.As someone said here comment,she got treated for fever and some sores in mouth .May be it was some infection of Tonsils .Many people neglect such infection and get treated with some tablets and forget it.Some dont know it can also attack heart if not treated properly.I am sure that was the cause of heart problem.God knows how long she had it ,neglected and after fever got down returned to normal daily chores.May also possible she got wrong tablets and treatment was not successful.From my experience once in India one doctor gave my son some antibiotics for infected tonsils which usually were for lungs infection.as it was not helpful later I went to another pharmacy got Pencilin which helped.However we dont know exactly what happened to her .Iam sure it was a wrong medicine.May her soul rest in Heaven in peace.Gods wish is sometimes we dont know.

    one of the comments (in Kannada) I read ಹದಿನೈದು ದಿನಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆ ಆಕೆ ಜ್ವರ ,ಬಾಯಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಣ್ಣು/ ಗುಳ್ಳೆಗಳ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆಗಾಗಿ ಪುತ್ತೂರಿನ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯೊಂದರಲ್ಲಿ ದಾಖಲಾಗಿ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ಪಡೆದು ಮನೆಗೆ ಹಿಂತಿರುಗಿದ್ದಳು ಎಂಬುದು ಗಮನಾರ್ಹ ಸಂಗತಿ . ಆಕೆಯ ಮನೆಯವರಿಗೆ ದುಃಖ ಭರಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿ ದೊರೆಯಲಿ .. It means fifteen days ago she was admitted to a hospital in Puttur for treatment of fever and mouth ulcers?? May be side effects of some medicine?? May her soul rest in peace. May god give strength to bear this irreparable loss to their parents and family.

    @ Cynthia, " All human beings are unique and so their interests." What a mind blowing thought! That's why our comments always contradict. What I presume to be good or pleasing makes you spray chili spray in my eyes.

    About Heart Attacks Heart Attack vs Cardiac Arrest Heart Attack and Sudden Cardiac Arrest Differences: People often use these terms interchangeably, but they are not synonyms. A heart attack is when blood flow to the heart is blocked, and sudden cardiac arrest is when the heart malfunctions and suddenly stops beating unexpectedly. A heart attack is a “circulation” problem and sudden cardiac arrest is an “electrical” problem. What is a heart attack? heart attack A heart attack occurs when a blocked artery prevents oxygen-rich blood from reaching a section of the heart. If the blocked artery is not reopened quickly, the part of the heart normally nourished by that artery begins to die. The longer a person goes without treatment, the greater the damage. Symptoms of a heart attack may be immediate and intense. More often, though, symptoms start slowly and persist for hours, days or weeks before a heart attack. Unlike with sudden cardiac arrest, the heart usually does not stop beating during a heart attack. The heart attack symptoms in women can be different than men. What is cardiac arrest? Sudden cardiac arrest occurs suddenly and often without warning. It is triggered by an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia). With its pumping action disrupted, the heart cannot pump blood to the brain, lungs and other organs. Seconds later, a person loses consciousness and has no pulse. Death occurs within minutes if the victim does not receive treatment.

    What can cause sudden cardiac death in young people? Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). In this usually inherited condition, the walls of the heart muscle thicken. Coronary artery abnormalities. Sometimes people are born with heart arteries (coronary arteries) that are connected abnormally. Long QT syndrome. Solution is Early detection by simple test calked 2D Echo cardiogram

    Dr. S. Kamath, Mumbai, Your comments make sense to some extent. I was born and brought up in Mumbai with my parents, my elder sister, younger brother, and sister. My daughter was operated for a blocked artery at Jaslok Hospital in Mumbai. Now we all are settled down in US . But we love India who gave us good education in the best schools and colleges which has are reaping the benefits for some reason or the other.

    It's torturous syllabus in all subjects to make money out of books sale and tuition .I feel very sad the student study without proper sleep and they sacrifice health just to get good marks. The education minister should look into this matter seriously. May condolences to the bereaved family.

    Beautiful comment. Why such thoughts are not entering in the minds of educational experts ? Pshychologists? Child welfare committees? Our so many other organizations who have given their report during lockdown that children are getting depressed sitting at home ???!!But, they cannot think on such lines ....why ?? Children should be given education based on their talents/interests of their topics. All cannot learn maths or science or history. All human beings are unique and so their interests.
