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.
