\n The relatives of a suspected COVID-19 patient in India allegedly unplugged his ventilator to use an air conditioner at a sweltering hospital, killing him, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The unidentified patient, a 40-year-old man at Maharao Bhimsingh Hospital in Kota in northern India, was admitted into an ICU unit on June 13 as doctors believed he had contracted the bug, the Indian Express reports.<\/p>\n

Two days later, the man was transferred to an isolation ward as a safety precaution since another ICU patient had tested positive for coronavirus, the news<\/a>paper reports.<\/p>\n

The man\u2019s relatives then took an air conditioner to the hospital \u2013 as daytime temps reportedly topped out at 106 degrees \u2014 and allegedly unplugged the ventilator after not finding an open socket to cool down the room, according to the report.<\/p>\n

Hospital staffers had deactivated air conditioners in the unit in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19, Vice News reports.<\/p>\n

The ventilator had a backup battery, but the man\u2019s relatives didn\u2019t tell doctors or nurses that they unplugged it, the medical superintendent at the government-run hospital told the outlet.<\/p>\n

An investigation into the incident is now underway, Dr. Navin Saxena said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have set up a committee with the deputy superintendent of the hospital, nursing superintendent, isolation ward staff and chief medical officer to file a report that details what happ<\/a>ened,\u201d Saxena told Vice News.<\/p>\n

The ventilator\u2019s battery reportedly ran out of power almost 30 minutes after being unplugged, sending the man\u2019s family scurrying for help from staffers who gave him CPR but could not revive him.<\/p>\n

The man\u2019s cause of death will also be included in the hospital\u2019s report. He tested negative for COVID-19 following his death, Saxena said.<\/p>\n

The temperature in Kota on June 15 reached 106 degrees. No formal complaint had been filed with local police in connection with the incident, Vice News reports.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
