On 9 October 2001,[1]Pratima Gaonkar, a young Indian intersex athlete and swimmer, was found dead in a well in Goa. The cause was identified as death by suicide; this was in turn was caused by Gaonkar's reaction to the disclosure and public commentary surrounding a failed sex verification test.[2][3][4] Gaonkar was reportedly the subject of blackmail attempts, including an accusation by her mother that her coach was accusing her.[5]
Originally from the village of Sadgal, Goa,[2] three months prior to her death she won silver medal in the 4×400 relay in the Junior Asian Athletics Championships in Brunei.[2][6] She had previously broken all the Goan state-level records for her discipline.[3]
In the aftermath of her death, media attention and reportage was invasive, with a press conference discussing her body in detail.[7][8] The public discourse which surrounded her death as an intersex athlete has led to comparisons with Dutee Chand and Caster Semenya.[9]
