Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Accused and Deceased a fight in between them, started with abusing, and finished with slap, after which accused ran away.

Accused was drunk.

Due to bad health (Heart Issue and BP) deceased started feeling uneasy and breathlessness and had a glass of water, and demanded for rest with his family members.

His situation could not get into control for next 10-15 minutes and then family decided to rush him to the hospital, where he was declared BROUGHT DEAD.

There is no sign of injury on the body of deceased as no weapon or alike thing was used during this fight (limit to slaps only).

Postmortem done and body cremated, but postmortem report is still pending and will take some time.

Accused has been transferred to Tihar by MM yesterday u/s 304 IPC

May I kindly request you to please suggest some case laws going in favor of accused as deceased was alive even after fight and it seems that due to passive health reasons he succumed to death.

would await for the kid advise.
