Poisoning suspected in death of Shiroor Swamiji: KMC Medical Superintendent
Udupi: The Medical Superintendent of Manipal’s KMC expressed doubt over the death of the Shiroor Mutt seer Lakshmivara Tirtha Swamiji who passed away this morning and said the Swamiji might have died by poisoning.
“There was excessive bleeding from his body. There is a suspicion of poisoning. The police have been informed about this incident,” Dr. Avinash Shetty, Medical Superintendent of KMC Hospital said.
“The Shiroor shree was brought to the hospital in serious condition on July 18. Multiple organ failure was found. He was treated at a private hospital in Udupi before being admitted to KMC. We worked hard to save him. But he did not respond to treatment and died at 8:30 this morning,” Dr.Avinash Shetty said.
An autopsy of the dead body of the Swamiji will be conducted as poisoning has been suspected. Therefore, it is sent to the hospital mortuary. After the post-mortem, the body will be taken to Sri Krishna Mutt.
A large number of people gathered at the KMC Hospital in Manipal soon after the news of the seer’s death was spread. Police bandobast has been provided on the spot.

US rules out use of nuclear weapons against Iran
Washington DC: The White House has reportedly ruled out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, even as uncertainty continues over ongoing peace negotiations and a deadline set by US President Donald Trump approaches.
Issues bout a possible escalation had increased after US Vice President JD Vance said that the United States has “tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use” in dealing with Iran.
His remarks came amid rising tensions and ahead of a deadline linked to peace efforts.
The situation has attracted attention as Trump warned Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight tonight” if an agreement is not reached by Tuesday at 8 pm.
This statement led to speculation about the possibility of extreme military measures, including a nuclear strike.
Following Vance’s comments, the White House issued a clarification distancing itself from such interpretations. In a post on X, it said, "Literally nothing @VP said here 'implies' this, you absolute buffoons." In a later statement, it added that “only the president knows” what action will be taken regarding Iran.
