The visually impaired elderly couple realized that their son had died four days later.

An elderly couple living in India, who are visually impaired and have difficulty walking, did not realize that their 30-year-old son had died for four days.

60-year-old Kaluva Ramana and 65-year-old Shantikumara Kumari had asked for food and water after the death of their son Pramod but received no response. It was reported that the couple could not seek help from their neighbors due to their inability to walk and their weak voices.

According to a report by the Economic Times, the incident came to light when neighbors called the police due to a foul smell coming from the house. The police found the couple in a semi-conscious state with foam coming from their mouths, along with the decaying body of their son, and immediately provided them with food and water.

According to the Times of India, the police suspect that Pramod died in his sleep after his parents were fed. Police officer Surya Nayak stated, "Neighbors may not have heard their calls for help due to their weak voices. The exact cause of death will be determined after the autopsy."

According to Hindustan Times, it was learned that Pramod's wife, who is said to be an alcoholic, left the house with their two daughters. Pramod's body was sent to the hospital to determine the date and cause of death.

The police announced that the couple is currently staying with their eldest son Pradeep, who lives in another part of the city, and that they are receiving the necessary support.
