Recently, we got to know about the real cause behind KK's untimely demise. According to the Kolkata Police, the final post-mortem and chemical analysis reports reveal that the cause behind KK's death was "myocardial infarction". It was also mentioned that due to excessive buildup of cholesterol, it narrowed down the posterior intramuscular artery, which in turn hampered the heart's ability to pump blood. The blockage was also seen in the coronary artery. Thus, it clarified all the suspicions regarding KK's unnatural death. In an interview with the Quint, an official could be heard saying:
"But after the preliminary and final post mortem reports, as well as the chemical analysis report, the theory of unnatural death can be ruled out now."
For the unversed, KK was married to his childhood love, Jyothi Krishna and together, they have two kids, Nakul Krishna and Taamara Kunnath. On June 2, 2022, the singer's doting daughter, Taamara had taken to her IG handle and had expressed her love for her father. She had uploaded a funeral card of KK on her IG stories and had written an emotional note with a heart emoji. It was indeed the most challenging time for the little girl. Alongwith it, she penned:
