The Kolkata Police on Wednesday registered a case of unnatural death in connection with the demise of singer Krishnakumar Kunnath, popularly known as KK, ANI reported. KK died on Tuesday night shortly after performing at a concert at the city’s Nazrul Mancha auditorium. He collapsed at the hotel where he was staying after the performance. Doctors at the Calcutta Medical Research Institute said that the singer had died by the time he was brought to the hospital. While doctors said that they suspected cardiac arrest to be the reason for his death, the police said that a post-mortem examination will be conducted on Wednesday to identify the exact cause. The singer was on a two-day visit to Kolkata to perform at two college events. Initial investigation showed he was “almost mobbed” by fans at the hotel where he returned after the performance, a police official told PTI.
