In what turned to be his final show at the Nazrul Mancha in south Kolkata on Tuesday (May 31st) evening, KK complained of uneasiness a number of times and even went to the backstage restroom to rest.

Doctors feel those were subtle signals of the forthcoming danger, which those present there, including KK himself, might have ignored.

Had KK insisted on concluding the performance and rushed to a nearby hospital, there could have been a possibility of avoiding the unfortunate end.
