Groom dies of heart attack just hours before wedding in UP's Bhojpur, family devastated

A heartbreaking incident unfolded in the village of Bhojpur, Uttar Pradesh, when a groom, Shivam, suddenly died of a heart attack just hours before his scheduled wedding. Shivam, a 28-year-old computer teacher, was set to marry a woman from Agra. On Sunday night, the groom participated in traditional pre-wedding rituals, including the Maadhe and Bhat ceremonies, which were held at his family’s home. After completing the customs, Shivam had dinner with his family and then went to his room to rest.

Shortly after, Shivam collapsed, and his family rushed to his aid. His relatives quickly took him to the district hospital, where doctors attempted to resuscitate him through CPR. However, their efforts were unsuccessful, and Shivam was declared dead by the medical staff. The exact cause of death was identified as a heart attack, but further medical details were not disclosed. This tragic turn of events occurred just a day before his wedding, which was supposed to take place on Monday.

Shivam was a computer teacher working on a contractual basis at a local school in Bhojpur. His sudden death has left his family in a state of deep shock. The wedding was highly anticipated, with preparations underway for the ceremony. Relatives from both families had already arrived, and the entire community had gathered to celebrate. However, the unexpected death of the groom caused a complete halt to the wedding plans, leaving the family and guests in a state of disbelief.

The bride's family, who had traveled from Agra for the wedding, was informed of the tragic incident after their arrival. The wedding ceremony was canceled, and the bride’s family participated in the funeral proceedings instead. Shivam’s funeral was conducted shortly after his death, and the entire village came together to mourn his loss. The atmosphere of celebration quickly turned somber as the family dealt with the overwhelming grief.

Shivam’s death has drawn attention to medical facilities in rural areas, where timely access to emergency care can be a challenge. Although Shivam was rushed to the hospital immediately after collapsing, the lack of immediate life-saving interventions led to his untimely demise. This incident has raised concerns about the adequacy of emergency services in small towns and villages, where delays in medical treatment can sometimes prove fatal. Shivam’s family, along with the bride’s family, is now left to cope with the loss of a loved one, turning what should have been a joyful occasion into one marked by grief and mourning.
