Akshay died on Saturday at the residence of the parents of Namrata Damor who was found dead in Ujjain district after her name figured in the scam.

The post-mortem report of deceased Aaj Tak special correspondent Akshay Singh has been handed over to the Dahod Police. The report will be handed to the Madhya Pradesh government for further investigation.

As per the initial reports, no internal and external injuries have been found on Akshay Singh's body. Dr Ashok Devidas Bachani and Dr Harish Waghela performed Akshay's post-mortem at the General Hospital Dahod. The post-mortem report submitted to the police station in Dahod says that there are no internal or external injuries anywhere on the body.

The doctors say that the final cause of death will be known only after the viscera report. Akshay's viscera samples have been handed over to the police who, in turn, have handed them over to the authorized forensic lab. The doctors say that prima facie the death appears to be from natural causes but they want to withhold a final answer till the time the forensics report comes out.

Doctors say that Akshay's heart was enlarged quite substantially and that the doctors also noted cyanosis on the nails and lips. Cyanosis is a bluish discoloration of the skin due to poor circulation or inadequate oxygenation of the blood.

Akshay died on Saturday at the residence of the parents of Namrata Damor who was found dead in Ujjain district after her name figured in the scam.

Akshay had gone to Jhabua to interview Damor's parents. Recalling the time spent with Akshay in Bhopal, cameraman Kishan Kumar said, "We stayed and ate together." He added that Akshay did a lot of research and studied post-mortem reports of all the deceased in the Vyapam scam.

At the residence of Namrata's parents, Akshay (38) suddenly started coughing and shaking. He was rushed to the civil hospital and later to a private hospital in Jhabua area of the state, but doctors failed to revive him.

From there, he was taken to another hospital in nearby Dahod in Gujarat, where he was declared brought dead.

Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday agreed to send Akshay's viscera samples to AIIMS.

Meanwhile, on Sunday morning, the dean of a Jabalpur medical college, suspected to have links to some accused in the Vyapam scam, was also found dead under mysterious circumstances at a hotel in Dwarka in south-west Delhi.

A number of accused and witnesses have died under mysterious circumstances over the last five years in the Vyapam scam, an admission and recruitment racket allegedly involving several bureaucrats and politicians.
