Mukesh’s Facebook post
Goodbye, though he maintained humor in life as in films… Chettan was a great loner in serious crises… Decades of warm relationship.. He came to Kollam for the second time to campaign for me even following sitting uncomfortably… Farewell to my beloved artist, elder brother who has no falsification of attitudes.
He died at a private hospital in Kochi last night around 10:30 pm. According to the medical bulletin issued by the hospital last night, the cause of death was respiratory diseases, non-functioning of several organs and heart attack due to the infection of Kovid. Innocent was admitted to the hospital two weeks ago. After his condition improved, he was shifted from the ICU to a room, but his condition worsened once more.
