Srikant Ashtagi, a die-hard fan of deceased film star Puneeth Rajkumar, died of a heart attack here on Saturday morning.
It is learnt that the 32-year-old man went into depression after coming to know of the demise of his favourite film star and stopped taking medicine that he was taking for some brain-related ailments.
He was rushed to the Kalaburagi branch of Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research after he complained of chest pain. The doctors there declared him dead a few minutes after his admission.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
