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.

ISRO's analogue space mission kicks off at Leh
Bengaluru, Nov 1: ISRO on Friday said its analogue space mission has taken off at Leh in Ladakh, where it will simulate life in an interplanetary habitat as India prepares to send a human to the moon.
The initiative is a collaborative effort of the Human Spaceflight Centre, ISRO, AAKA Space Studio, University of Ladakh, IIT Bombay, and supported by Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council.
The month-long mission, kicked off mid-October, comes in the wake of India's plans to set up lunar habitats, which could provide a base to launch inter-planetary missions.
The geographical features of Ladakh are considered to closely resemble Martian and lunar landscapes and are an ideal training ground for scientific missions aimed at exploring planets "India's first analog space mission kicks off in Leh...this mission will simulate life in an interplanetary habitat to tackle the challenges of a base station beyond Earth," ISRO said in a post on X.
The team of AAKA Space Studio is testing environment suits and conducting geological studies in Leh's low-oxygen environment, simulating space-like conditions, studies that could be crucial for future space missions.
The team is also studying how the human body adapts to the harsh weather conditions in Ladakh that could be useful in understanding how astronauts could get used to space like conditions.
