Smoke inhalation, not flames, killed all 15 in Lucknow fire: Post-mortem reveals

Suffocation from toxic smoke, not flames, caused the deaths of 15 individuals in Lucknow's Aliganj fire. Post-mortem examinations revealed no significant burn injuries, but evidence of smoke inhalation, including soot in nasal passages and facial swelling. Doctors emphasized that fires in enclosed spaces rapidly deplete oxygen and release deadly gases, leading to rapid incapacitation and death. The tragedy has prompted a high-level probe and fire safety inspections across Uttar Pradesh.
