In a tragic incident, a 43-year-old mason worker was found dead in his seat while watching Avengers Infinity War (3D) at a cinema hall in Proddatur town in Indian state of Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday.

According to Proddatur police, the deceased has been identified as Peddapasupula Baasha who worked at a construction site. He went to Cinehub Multiplex theatre to watch the movie as part of the May Day celebrations.



However, the theatre staff saw Baasha sitting still in his seat even after the movie was over and audience started to leave the cinema hall. Initially, the theatre staff assumed the man probably was waiting for the after credits scene. But, when he still did not get from his seat, they decided to go and check on him.

The theatre staff assumed the man probably was waiting for the after credits scene. As the theatre staff got no response from Baasha, they removed his 3D glasses and found him dead with his eyes still open, according to The Times of India report.

It is however not clear how the man died in the cinema hall. The preliminary investigation revealed that the man either died a natural death or suffered cardiac arrest and his body has been sent for post-mortem. A case of suspicious death has been registered.
