Man dies during Mumbai Concert at NSCI Dome, investigation underway
A 28-year-old man died after suffering a medical emergency during an overnight music event at Mumbai's NSCI Dome in Worli, prompting an investigation by the police.
The deceased, identified as Vrishabh Mahendra Gangurde from Mahim, reportedly fell ill while attending the "Klangkuenstler All Night Long" concert and was rushed to Breach Candy Hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival.
A 31-year-old woman who attended the same event was also hospitalised after complaining of ill health. According to police, no evidence of drug consumption has emerged so far.
Investigators said both individuals had consumed alcohol, while preliminary findings suggest dehydration or a possible cardiac event may have contributed to the man's death.
However, officials are awaiting post-mortem and forensic reports before confirming the exact cause.
Police have registered an accidental death report and are reviewing CCTV footage from the venue and surrounding areas.
The incident has drawn attention because it comes less than two months after two MBA students died following a separate Mumbai concert where a suspected drug overdose was under investigation.
Authorities are also examining event safety measures and emergency response protocols.
