The demise of popular singer Krishnakumar Kunnath aka KK has left his fans shattered, and they still can wrap their head around this tragic reality. The Jannat singer died after performing in a college fest in Kolkata on late Tuesday, and now a video from the fest is going viral for a shocking reason.
In a video shared by an Instagram user, we can see KK performing his notable song Ankhon Mein Teri from the film Om Shanti Om. The enthusiastic singer asked the crowd to complete the lyrics, and they were singing the iconic line in sync. Witnessing this euphoria, KK said, "Hai mar jau yahi main."

During the autopsy report, it was revealed that KK could have been saved. As per the report of PTI, KK died on Tuesday night due to a massive cardiac arrest after a live performance at Nazrul Mancha in Kolkata. "He had a major blockage in the left main coronary artery and small blockages in various other arteries and sub-arteries. Excessive excitement during the live show caused a stoppage of blood flow leading to cardiac arrest that claimed his life," the medical practitioner told PTI on condition of anonymity. The artiste could have been saved if someone had administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately after he fell unconscious, the doctor said.

He said that the singer had prolonged cardiac problems which remained unaddressed. "The vocalist had 80 per cent blockage in the left main coronary artery and small blockages in various other arteries and sub-arteries. None of the blockades was 100 per cent. "During Tuesday's performance, the singer was walking around and at times dancing with the crowd which created excessive excitement that caused a stoppage of blood flow leading to cardiac arrest," he said. The doctor said that excessive excitement stopped blood flow for a few moments resulting in an irregular heartbeat for a very short time.
"As a result, KK fell unconscious and had a cardiac arrest. If CPR had been given immediately, the artiste could have been saved," he said. CPR is an emergency procedure comprising chest compressions as well as artificial ventilation to manually maintain brain function until further steps are taken to restore normal blood circulation and breathing in a person experiencing cardiac arrest. The doctor said the autopsy revealed that the singer was on antacids "probably considering some pain which he mistook as digestive problems".
