Was Rajkumar taking some drugs or steroids or protein or amino injections for bodybuilding and to burn fat. Or was he using AMPS or Adenosine MonoPhosphate injections for extra energy during workouts. There are similarities in Rajkumar’s death and that of Bollywood actor Sidharth Shukla who also passed away due to a heart attack.

As a matter of fact, at 46, the actor should not be doing 2-hour workout sets and should have restricted himself to 30-minute sets. Strenuous workouts for long duration and protein or amino supplements can cause a great strain on the heart.

Vikram Hospital in Bengaluru, where Power Star Puneeth Rajkumar breathed his last at the age of 46 on Friday after suffering a massive heart attack, said in a statement that a panel of medical experts had extended all efforts to save the actor who was “non-responsive” during the time of his admission but he was brought in an irresponsive state and all efforts to save him were futile.

This means that Rajkumar’s heart and cardiac system had already failed before he reached the hospital.
