Shiroor seer was not murdered, was a natural death: Pejawar seer
Hubballi, July 19: Condoling the death of Shiroor seer Lakshmivara Theertha Swami, Pejawar mutt seer Vishwesha Theertha swamiji said that there is no information of poisoning the seer.
Speaking to the media here, senior seer said that he was told that seer died of kidney failure. Who will poison him? There is no need to poison Shiroor seer. Seers will never kill others, he opined.
Nobody will think of grabbing the his seer post by killing him. He was suffering from health related ailments since one year, seer said.
"I will return to Udupi today night and I will decide about taking part in his last rites there. I have not received any phone call from Shiroor mutt. Sodhi mutt will appoint the successor. If they seek any advice I will give. Seer's brother has informed me that he died of food poisoning. There is no connection between handing over Patta Devaru and his death. There was communication between us and Shiroor mutt. We had some differences regarding his statements. But personally I loved and trusted him, Pejawar seer said.
I have learnt that his death has raised many doubts. Many suspect that he might have poisoned. An inquiry will be done if necessary, seer added.
