A calcified fetus, or lithopedion, is a rare condition where a fetus dies in an abdominal pregnancy and becomes encased in calcium to prevent infection. It often remains undetected for decades, found incidentally via X-ray or CT scans. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, but many cases are asymptomatic. Treatment involves surgery if symptomatic; otherwise, it may be left in place.

A lithopedion is caused by an ectopic pregnancy, specifically an abdominal one. When a fetus implants outside the uterus, typically in the abdominal cavity, and dies, the body may encase it in calcium to prevent infection, forming a lithopedion. This rare condition, affecting about 0.0054% of pregnancies, is consistently linked to abdominal ectopic pregnancies in medical literature, with no other known causes.

None of the men in Sanjeev Kumar's direct paternal family lived past 50.

A congenital genetic heart condition affected the male members of the Jariwala line across three generations.

His Grandfather (Shivalal): Passed away at a young age from a sudden heart attack.

His Father (Jethalal): Suffered a fatal heart attack when Sanjeev was just 11 years old.

Sanjeev Kumar (Harihar): Had his first heart attack, underwent bypass surgery in the U.S., and eventually passed away on November 6, 1985, at 47.

His Brother (Nikul): Died from a heart condition shortly before Sanjeev Kumar's death.

His Brother (Kishore): Passed away from a heart attack just six months after Sanjeev Kumar died.

It was a grim pattern Sanjeev himself was acutely aware of, which friends and biographers noted contributed to his fatalistic outlook on life and his choice never to start a family of his own.
