Speaking to News18 Kannada, Rao said Puneeth had come to his clinic with wife Ashwini after he felt some uneasiness. “He said he was feeling weak. Weak is not a word I ever heard from Appu (Puneeth). I checked him. His blood pressure was normal, heart beat was steady and lungs were clear but he was sweating which he said was normal after a workout. He had lifted weights, done boxing and taken some extra steam. I anyway decided to do an ECG. I noticed a strain in the ECG that I conveyed to Ashwini and asked her to take him to Vikram hospital,” said Dr Rao.
She added that while they immediately went to Vikram hospital, Puneeth suffered a cardiac arrest which turned out to be fatal. “He was extremely health conscious. I would give his example to so many others. What has happened has got nothing to do with his lifestyle. It was sudden,” said Puneeth’s doctor Rao.
