On October 29, 2021, Puneeth Rajkumar practiced kickboxing at the gym for an hour and a half, which was a more intense workout than his regular routine. The extreme physical exertion placed heavy stress on his heart, leaving him exhausted and sweating profusely before he visited his family doctor.
Upon noticing Puneeth sweating profusely and feeling exhausted, Dr. Ramana Rao immediately suspected a serious issue and performed an ECG test. The ECG report revealed signs of cardiac strain, prompting the doctor to administer medication and urgently arrange for his transfer to the hospital.
After receiving initial medication and advice from Dr. Ramana Rao, Puneeth was rushed toward Vikram Hospital to receive emergency medical care. Tragically, just one minute before reaching the hospital gate, his heartbeat stopped, and subsequent emergency measures by the hospital team were unsuccessful.
