He was taken to the Old Government Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.

But in a strange turn of events, the man's body went missing when hospital staff directed his friend to bring his body to the Tiruvannamalai Government Medical College Hospital for a post mortem.

The friend also reportedly disappeared.

The police are currently working to establish the dead man's identity.

The film, the sequel to Australian filmmaker James Wan's first instalment The Conjuring, follows the story of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren as they attempt to unravel the supernatural happenings in a house in London in 1977.

Earlier last week, Singaporean Damien Ng's claims on Facebook that he had encountered an alleged supernatural event after watching the film in Sarawak went viral.
