Part one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's epic culmination had more than its fair share of laughs, thrills, and sombre moments, actually managing to deliver on the enormous amount of hype leading up to it. On the downside, the excitement of actually watching the film resulted in one Marvel fan losing his life.

As a part of his May Day celebrations, 43-year-old mason worker Peddapasupula Baasha visited the Cinehub Multiplex theatre in Proddatur town, catching a 3D screening of Avengers: Infinity War. When the movie was over, Baasha remained in his seat, leading theatre staff to believe he was waiting for the end-credits scene. However, when the scene came and went, he still didn't move.

At this point, his 3D glasses were removed, and it was discovered that he had died with his eyes open, while watching the movie. The immediate assumption was that he had died of cardiac arrest, or some other natural cause, but his death was registered as "suspicious" until an investigation could be conducted.
