Puneeth’s household physician Ramana Rao spoke to News 18 and mentioned that he had come to his clinic along with his spouse Ashwini after he felt some uneasiness. He was quoted as saying, “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, his heartbeat was steady and his 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.” “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. It was a cardiac arrest (where the heart abruptly stops beating) and not a heart attack (where blood flow to the heart stops). It is extremely difficult to say who is likely to have it. There are many factors that could lead to a cardiac arrest but in Appu’s case, none of those were seen. He did not have diabetes, abnormal blood pressure, irregular heartbeat. It is impossible to point to a reason for what happened to Appu,” he added.
