He died of age-related issues, say sources. But the actor was suffering from Alzheimer's for quite some time now. Last year, he had ran from home and was found lost at a bus stop in Kumta, Karnataka. However, when superstars of Kannada films including Shivarajkumar, Sudeep and Upendra came forward to help the actor, he and his family had refused to take any help.
