In a tragic and heart-wrenching incident reported from Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh, an elderly woman lived inside her locked house with the dead body of her 35-year-old son for nearly five days. Overwhelmed by deep shock, intense grief, and psychological denial, the mother remained right by his side, firmly believing and hoping that he was merely asleep and would eventually wake up and come back to life. The heartbreaking situation was finally discovered when a local milkman noticed a foul odor emanating from the residence and alerted the neighbors. Upon receiving the information, the local police broke open the door to recover the severely decomposed body for a post-mortem examination, and an investigation has been initiated to determine the exact cause of the son's death.
