The postmortem report of Prateek Yadav, son of late Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav, has confirmed that he died due to cardiorespiratory collapse caused by a massive pulmonary thromboembolism, commonly known as a blood clot in the lungs. The findings were released on May 13, 2026, by officials overseeing the forensic examination.
Details of the Postmortem Examination
During the autopsy, doctors preserved the heart, lung clot material, and viscera samples for detailed forensic and chemical analysis. These specimens will undergo further testing to determine if any underlying medical condition or external factors contributed to the fatal event. Officials stated that all injuries found on the body were antemortem, meaning they occurred before death, but final conclusions will depend on the pending forensic reports.
Ongoing Investigation
Experts are now examining whether any pre-existing health issues or external influences may have triggered the pulmonary embolism. The case has drawn significant public attention due to Prateek Yadav's political lineage. Authorities have assured a thorough investigation to uncover all relevant factors surrounding his untimely demise.
The postmortem results have been shared with the family, who have requested privacy during this difficult time. Further updates are expected once the forensic analysis is complete.
