Singer On Tuesday evening, KK died shortly after performing at a college festival in Kolkata. Nandita Puri, the late actor Om Puri’s wife, shared a note after his death, saying, ‘Kolkata killed KK.’ This was in response to a video that surfaced online a few hours after KK’s death, showing him wiping his face with a towel and complaining about the venue’s air conditioning.
Nandita posted on Facebook, ” “West Bengal should be ashamed. Kolkata murdered KK, and the government is covering it up with a state farewell for their faulty Nazrul Manch, with a crowd of 7k for a capacity of 2.5k, failed air conditioning; the singer perspiring profusely complained four times to no avail. There were no paramedics. There is no first aid. Critical moments were squandered.
A CBI investigation is require, and Bollywood should refrain from performing in Bengal until that time (sic).”
A doctor who performed KK’s autopsy confirmed that he died due to a massive cardiac arrest on Thursday. Under the condition of anonymity, they add that the singer had long-standing cardiac issues that had not been addressed.
According to the doctor, “He had a major blockage in the left main coronary artery and minor blockages in several other arteries and sub-arteries. Excessive excitement during the live show caused a halt in blood flow, resulting in cardiac arrest and his death. The vocalist had an 80% blockage in the left main coronary artery and small blockages in other arteries and sub-arteries. Unfortunately, none of the blockades were completely effective.”
He went on to say that if CPR had been administere to him on time, KK would still be alive. He stated, “During Tuesday’s performance, the singer was walking around and dancing with the audience, which caused excessive excitement, resulting in a blockage of blood flow and cardiac arrest. As a result, KK passed out and suffered a cardiac arrest.
