“A body temperature of 107°C is simply impossible,” a leading physician in Patna explained. “This reading suggests a malfunctioning thermometer or a more serious underlying condition. It’s crucial to diagnose heatstroke accurately to administer proper treatment.”

The exact cause of the man’s fever remains unclear. Heatstroke can cause a rapid rise in body temperature, but not to such extreme levels. Other factors, potentially combined with the intense heat, might have contributed to his condition.
