“It is presumed that the deceased had suffered injuries due to a road traffic incident. None of the vital signs could be detected during the primary examination and hence he was declared brought dead. Now, with the approval of the police, we are planning to conduct the post mortem examination to ascertain the main reason of death,” an on duty doctor informed media persons.
