Jain said as Furkan's family told us he was a swimmer, his heart seemed to be healthy. "The excitement of the game might have caused a surge in adrenaline causing cardiac arrest. I appeal to children to stay away from such games as excitement could cause cardiac arrests," he said.

Furkhan's brother Mohammad Hashim also said that he was addicted to PUBG and played the game for close to 18 hours a day. "I also used to play the same game but after the death of my brother I have deleted it from my mobile phone," he said.

A case has been registered by the police and further investigation on what triggered the 16-year-old's death is underway.
