Earlier, he had shared the news of a liver cancer diagnosis and had been battling with it for a while. Yesterday he lost the battle and passed away. May his soul rest in peace.
In an interview, he once said, "I was told I have a tumor about 5 centimeters long in my liver and that it is cancerous."
He also recalled: “My first procedure after the diagnosis went wrong, affecting my pancreas and leading to various complications. The incorrect treatment actually aggravated my condition. I was unable to walk and struggled to speak clearly. In that state, the doctor advised me to wait for a month and a half.
“They warned that undergoing surgery could result in long-term jaundice or severe liver complications, potentially jeopardising my survival. Eventually, I sought a second opinion, switched doctors, and received the appropriate medication and chemotherapy.”
