November 4, 2022
A dancer performing a routine in front of an audience has died suddenly after collapsing on stage, alarming footage from India shows. The male dancer named Yogesh Gupta dressed as the Indian goddess Parvati in Jammu last month and twirled several times before falling to the ground, Adan Salazar reports. Once on the ground, Gupta was unable to get up and instead slumped to the ground writhing for seconds. “The music went on while no one realized what was happening,” reports the Economic Times of India, “and then another actor dressed as Lord Shiva came on stage and tried to pull him to his feet.” NDTV reports that audiences believed the sudden collapse was part of the performance. “Sources say the man, Yogesh Gupta, died of a heart attack,” NDTV reports, adding that, “Multiple such incidents have been reported from across the country.” A journalist who tweeted a video of the incident said: “Another accident. LIVE footage of another dead man laughing and dancing. This is a very disturbing trend. This needs to be discussed in a very serious way now.” Such occurrences seem to be a regular occurrence in India, and indeed around the world, in the wake of the Covid-19 vaccine rollout.
