Doctors revealed that the singer was suffering from liver
cirrhosis, a chronic condition where healthy liver cells are gradually replaced
by scar tissue, impairing the organ’s ability to function. The liver plays a
vital role in detoxifying the body, processing nutrients, and producing
proteins essential for blood clotting. Cirrhosis disrupts these functions, and
symptoms often appear only after 90 per cent of the liver is damaged. Excessive
alcohol consumption over many years is one of the leading causes of cirrhosis.

shock. Tributes continue to pour in, with many describing his death as a void
that can never be filled in Odisha’s cultural landscape.
