‘Puneeth had hit the gym even though he wasn’t feeling well’

Puneeth Rajkumar’s death was a huge shocker to the Kannada film industry. He was fine hours before his death and all of a sudden, he is no more. The actor suffered a massive cardiac arrest while gymming on Friday morning.

According to the doctors, he wasn’t feeling well on Thursday night but still went to gymming on Friday morning. Heavy workouts may have caused the cardiac arrest, opined Dr Rahul S Patil, who worked closely with Puneeth.

As per the report of the Times of India, Rahul S Patil said, “The heart attack may have been manifested when he was gymming. It is said that on Thursday night he was not comfortable and still went to the gym on Friday morning. A coronary artery may have got blocked when he was gymming, causing a sudden cardiac event.”

He further stated that even a small discomfort should not be ignored and one should not hit the gym at that state.

Puneeth was just 46 and a cardiac arrest is quite surprising at that age. But doctors say that cardiac arrest has become prominent in youngsters these days and thus, everyone needs to take care of their diet and lifestyle.

Bollywood actor Siddharth Shukla, who was just 40, also passed away a couple of months ago with a cardiac arrest.
