Uppunda: In a big twist to the 6-year-old girl Samanvi’s death from choking on chocolate, the autopsy report has ruled out suffocation as the cause.

The medical report has said that the girl had congenital heart defect which led to a heart attack and her sudden death. The conclusive medical report has put an end to speculations behind the sudden death.

It may be recalled that Samanvi, the daughter of Supreetha Poojary, died on July 20. On the fateful day, Samanvi wasn’t obeying the words of her mother while leaving for school in the morning. At this point in time, her mother tried to calm her down by offering chocolate. She had suddenly collapsed on the School bus.

She was immediately rushed to the nearby hospital where doctors declared her brought dead. At the time, the death was mistakenly attributed to choking due to chocolate stuck in her throat.
