A 17-year-old boy, who was declared dead by the KEM hospital staff, was actually alive, alleged his family. The family claimed that the doctors did not check him properly and erroneously declared him dead after shutting down the ventilator.

The deceased has been identified as Jatin Prakash Parmar, a resident of Prabhadevi. Jatin was admitted after he complained of high fever. According to the family, unknown people at the hospital recorded a video revealing that Jatin was alive at the time he was declared dead by the doctors. The video later went viral on social media. Navin, Jatin's brother, said, "His COVID-19 report was negative." Navin continued saying that when the family went to see Jatin after he was declared dead, he was still breathing.
