Ashiesh's sister is flying down to Mumbai from Kolkata. The funeral will take place in the evening, reportedly.

As per the report by TOI, Ashiesh had been admitted to a hospital several times earlier. He was undergoing dialysis, but he ran out of money. He tried to score some work in 2020, but the lockdown proved to be detrimental.

Earlier, in May, he pled on Facebook for help. He had asked for financial assistance from his well-wishers. He also had to get himself discharged from the hospital, before his treatment could be finished due to lack of funds. "I had to take discharge on May 24 as I had no more money to pay them. The bill was of Rs 2 lakhs and somehow I managed to pay that," he had said in an interview.

Ashiesh had not been optimistic about his condition, as he said: "I am currently on dialysis only and I don't think I will be cured." Ashiesh Roy Wants To Get Discharged Due To Lack Of Money, Says 'I Can’t Continue Staying Here Even If I Were to Die Tomorrow'.
