A day after suffering a cardiac arrest, Tamil comedian Vivek passed away on Saturday, 17 April, at a private hospital in Chennai. He was aged 59 and survived by his wife and daughter.
He breathed his last around 4.35 am. He was on ECMO support in the ICU of SIMS Hospital after undergoing an angioplasty due to 100% block in the LAD vessel of his left coronary artery on Friday. He was rushed to the hospital by his wife after he fell unconscious due to discomfort.
This comes as a shock to his fans and well-wishers as two days ago he was encouraging people to take measures for the prevention of Covid-19. He had also taken the Covid-19 vaccine in the Government Omandurar hospital in Chennai and people linked the cardiac arrest to the vaccination. However, the hospital clarified that there was no direct connection between the Covid-19 vaccine and cardiac arrest.
