Denny Sunny, a software engineer working in Bangalore, had been referred to a private hospital for a minor surgery on his jaw bone by his dentist.
The
family of a 26-year-old who died following a surgery at a private hospital in
Aluva alleged that medical negligence had caused his death.
The
Aluva police have registered a case and a post-mortem examination was conducted
on Monday.
The
police said Denny Sunny, a software engineer from the city working in
Bangalore, was referred to the private hospital for a minor surgery on his jaw
bone by his dentist. He had arrived at the hospital with his parents for a
scheduled surgery around 2 p.m. on Sunday.
Around
5 p.m., doctors informed Denny’s parents that there had been complications
during the surgery and that he had to be taken to a private hospital in Kochi
immediately. Denny, however, died on the way to the hospital.
Relatives
of the deceased alleged that medical negligence, possibly in the administration
of anaesthesia, had caused his death.
“He
had driven himself to the hospital by car. It was supposed to be a minor
surgery. The body showed no marks that indicated that the surgery had begun. We
suspect that something went wrong when they administered anaesthesia,” said
Joseph, a cousin of the deceased.
The
police said they were investigating the death and were waiting for the
post-mortem examination report. Hospital authorities were unavailable for
comment on the incident.
