A shocking incident shared on X by KV Iyyer has gone viral after a man passed away minutes after informing his boss he couldn’t attend work due to severe back pain.

In a heartbreaking incident that has left netizens stunned, a 40-year-old man died of cardiac arrest just 10 minutes after sending a sick leave message to his manager. The story was shared by his colleague, KV Iyyer, on social media platform X, where it has gone viral and sparked conversations on the fragility of life.

Iyyer recounted the devastating sequence of events. “At 8:37 am, Shankar, my colleague, texted me saying, ‘Sir, due to severe back pain I am unable to come today. Please grant me leave.’ Such messages are routine, so I simply replied, ‘Ok, take rest.’ By 11 am, I got a call informing me he had passed away. I was in disbelief,” he wrote.

The manager said he rushed to Shankar’s home only to find him lifeless. “He was just 40, healthy, fit, married with a child, never smoked or drank. What shocked me most is that he was conscious and typing a message just minutes before his last breath — at 8:47 am, he was gone,” Iyyer said in his post.
He concluded with a poignant reminder: “Life is unpredictable. Be kind to those around you and live happily, because you never know what the next minute holds.”

The post triggered an emotional response online, with users expressing condolences, offering prayers for Shankar’s family, and reflecting on the importance of work-life balance and regular health checkups.

Medical experts have repeatedly warned that cardiac arrests are increasingly affecting younger, seemingly healthy individuals, citing stress, sedentary lifestyle, and unmonitored health issues as major contributing factors.
