Dr. Santosh Datar, Medical Director, Ziqitza Healthcare, says according to the autopsy report of singer, he had 80% blockage in the main coronary artery & small blockages in other sub-arteries. Also, too much excitement during live performance on stage led to cardia arrest for KK. If a person has Heart attack, the only possible way to save the person is to provide fast and appropriate medical care within minutes of complain. This could be achieved in this scenario, if a standby Ambulance with paramedic was stationed at such event venues or a medical team for quick response. Whether you talk about concerts, carnivals, trade shows, or festive celebrations, and any such holy festive fair often give way to an excessively chaotic environment and ambiance. Stampedes, fires, and other unforeseen calamities have ensued, resulting in injury, both major and minor ones, and even deaths, on several occasions. The presence of appropriate emergency services, and more specifically, fully equipped ambulances with highly trained paramedics, in such instances, definitely plays an active role in bringing down the casualties and fatalities which had taken place.
