SP Balasubrahmanyam got admitted to the hospital in August after he was tested positive for COVID-19. While doctors had advised him to observe home quarantine, he insisted on getting admitted for the sake of his family. It's been 50 days since the veteran actor was receiving his treatment for coronavirus and though his recent reports came in negative, his condition wasn't getting any better. An official statement by the hospital authorities suggests he suffered from cardio-respiratory arrest.

We pray for his departed soul to rest in peace.
