The demise of popular playback singer Krishnakumar Kunnath, popularly known as KK, has left a void in the music fraternity of our country. The beloved singer was performing at an event in Kolkata when he suddenly suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away. The post morten reports have shown that KK had massive blockages in his arteries and due to excessive excitement during the show, the blood flow to his heart was stopped and the singer suffered a cardiac arrest.

The doctor who performed the post mortem told a news outlet, "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 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."

The doctor further added that KK would have been alive if someone had given him a CPR. He stated, "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. As a result, KK fell unconscious and had a cardiac arrest. The artiste could have been saved if CPR had been given immediately."
