Blind Hyderabad couple lives with son’s body for days, didn’t realise he’d died

way2barak, Oct 29: An elderly couple, both visually impaired, were rescued from their home on Tuesday after being found with the body of their 30-year-old son, unaware that he had died four days earlier.

The situation came to light when neighbors noticed a foul smell coming from the house on Monday and alerted authorities. Upon arrival, officers discovered the couple in a semi-conscious state alongside their son’s body.

The man was found dead in the house and he is suspected to have died in his sleep about four-five days ago, Police  said based on preliminary investigation. The elderly parents, both over 60, were unaware of their son’s death and had been attempting to contact him for food and water without any response. Due to their weakened voices, neighbors also failed to hear their calls.

The man’s body has been transported to a state-run hospital for a post-mortem examination, and a case has been registered.

According to police officials, they provided the couple with food and water and now may be relocated to an old-age home to receive necessary treatment and support.
