The Indian expatriate family of Vaishnav Krishnakumar, an 18-year-old student from Dubai, has been officially informed by Dubai Police that the young man died of natural causes due to cardiac arrest. The confirmation followed the release of a forensic report aligning with the hospital’s preliminary diagnosis of “death on arrival due to cardiac arrest.”
Vaishnav had participated in a Diwali event at a student accommodation complex in Dubai International Academic City, where he was seen dancing alongside other students before sitting down briefly and then moving to a nearby restaurant. Moments after sitting, he suddenly collapsed. Emergency services responded quickly, but despite efforts, he was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
The family expressed deep sorrow, noting that Vaishnav had no known underlying heart conditions and maintained a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise and diet. A family member lamented the missed opportunity for immediate CPR, emphasizing the hope that such tragedies can be averted in the future through timely intervention.
This heartbreaking incident during a cultural celebration has spurred calls for greater awareness of cardiac emergencies among young adults, especially within active communities.
