Blind couple found in semi-conscious state with frothing from their mouths after they live with son's corpse for days

In a tragic incident, a visually impaired elderly couple lived with the body of their younger son for four days, unaware of his passing in their home in Nagole.

Nagole police, who were alerted by neighbours over foul smell emanating from the home, were shocked to see the couple — K Ramana, 60, and K Shanta Kumari, 65 — lying in a semi-conscious state and frothing from their mouths.

On Monday afternoon, cops received an SOS from locals of Blinds Colony in Nagole. A Surya Nayak, Nagole SHO, along with his team rushed to the spot following the alert. After entering the house, they found three persons. While the couple's son K Pramod, 30, was dead and his body was in a decomposed state, police brought out the couple.


Police said Pramod served his parents dinner four days ago and fell asleep. "We suspect that Pramod died in his sleep. The exact cause of death would be known only after the post-morten examination," Nayak said.

The visually challenged couple had no food and water for four days as their son had passed away. Also, they were not in a condition to even move their limbs, said a police official.

Cops gave the couple a bath and provided them food and drinking water. Upon enquiry, police found out about their elder son Pradeep, who resides in Saroornagar. They informed Pradeep about the incident and shifted Pramod's body to govt hospital. After Pradeep's arrival, they entrusted the couple to his care.
