The day of birthday celebrations took a tragic turn when Suresh, on his way to an orphanage in Dornahalli to distribute food as part of his daughter’s birthday celebration, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. Despite his strength and valour, he collapsed and his life was cut short by the unforeseen health crisis. He passed away before reaching a  health centre.

Despite swift efforts to rush him to K.R. Nagar Public Hospital, Suresh succumbed to heart attack, leaving his family and community in shock.

His final rites were conducted yesterday with full honours in his hometown Sugganahalli where he has his land as the entire village came together to pay their last respects.
