Indore/Mhow (Madhya Pradesh): Prakash Dodiya used to often claim of a ‘big heart’. No one took it seriously till he was killed in a brawl and subsequent post-mortem revealed that his claim was true literally. "He had a heart weighing 1,125 grams, which is significantly large," said Dr Bharat Vajpayee, forensic expert at District Hospital. "I have conducted thousands of post-mortems.

This is the third instance in my career where I’ve examined a body with such a large heart. It’s the biggest heart I’ve ever encountered," Vajpayee added. Normally, a person’s heart weighs between 300 and 350 grams. The city has reported two previous cases of individuals with large hearts.

Two years ago, Delhi businessman Manoj Agrawal died on a flight. Post-mortem revealed that his heart weighed 550 grams. Similarly, a young man with a 550-gram heart passed away a few months ago. "An abnormally large heart is usually caused by a condition known as cardiomegaly. Some causes of this condition include high blood pressure, heart valve disease and coronary artery disease," Vajpayee explained.

As per police, Prakash (25), also known as Golu, was drinking with his two friends on Bhagora-Karondiya Road under Badgonda police station on Monday night. During the drinking session, an argument broke out between the friends. In heat of the moment, one of his friends struck Golu on the head with a brick.

The police were informed about the incident and the body was taken to Mhow Civil Hospital from where it was sent to district hospital for autopsy. The short post-mortem report revealed that the enlarged heart had no connection to the cause of death. Prakash died due to head injuries caused by the assault.
