Mysore/Mysuru: Amid reports of several young individuals from Hassan dying of heart attacks, a 51-year-old Mysuru resident, originally from Holenarasipura in Hassan, died after collapsing suddenly at a gym in Mysuru.
The incident occurred last Saturday at a gym in Vijayanagar First Stage on Yoga Narasimhaswamy Temple Road. The deceased has been identified as B.N. Sridhar (51), a resident of Gokulam.
Sridhar, a civil engineer working in Mysuru, regularly visited the gym for exercise. On Saturday, he collapsed while running on a treadmill and died shortly after. Originally from Junjanahalli village in Holenarasipura taluk, Sridhar was the son of Nagaratnamma and Ningegowda.
Family sources said he had a pre-existing heart condition and had previously undergone surgery, including a stent implantation. A bachelor, Sridhar, was survived by family members who arrived in Mysuru the same day to shift his body to Hassan.
As the death was deemed natural, no Police case was registered.
