In this study, 60 deaths of any age group occurred in the Emergency Department of MGM Medical College, Navi Mumbai from the period January 2015 to September 2015 were taken. Alternate deaths were divided into two groups .Group B was conveyed the bad news in a conventional way and unstructured way whereas a structured format was followed for the Group A.

Initial shock reaction or vasovagal syncope situation was around 20 % in group B whereas in group A it was nearly 6%.Anger situation was found to be around 16% in group B and in group A it was approx. 3%.
