Tamil actor Karthik Sabesh dies at 37 in Chennai, with reports citing health complications. Multiple outlets say his death follows closely after the recent death of his uncle, veteran Tamil music director and singer Deva (Devanesan Chokkalingam). Karthik’s family mourns the loss, and outlets report he is survived by his wife, Ramya Karthik, and their two daughters.
Accounts also provide background on his health and career. Free Press Journal reports he had been hospitalised for around two months, undergoing treatment including dialysis, and that his condition worsened in the two weeks before he died, with time spent in the ICU. Times of India highlights his film work, noting a debut in 2004 and appearances in several Tamil movies. Times of India and Free Press Journal also mention his family connections in the music industry, identifying his father as music composer M. C. Sabesan and noting Deva’s death from cardiac arrest on October 17.
Free Press Journal further reports arrangements for his final rites in Chennai and gives the scheduled timing, while other outlets focus more on biographical details and immediate circumstances.
