Indian singer Nisar Ibrahim dies hours before show

The reports said he was admitted to hospital on Saturday afternoon after developing a high fever. His sudden death has left the Malayali community in the UAE in shock. He had been scheduled for further musical programmes in Dubai and Saudi Arabia.

The reports said the death notification listed acidosis as the direct cause of death, with systemic inflammatory response syndrome of infectious origin with organ failure recorded as the leading cause. Other septicaemia was listed as the underlying cause.

The medical details indicate that a severe infection triggered a systemic inflammatory response, leading to organ failure and acidosis. Acidosis is a condition in which the body’s blood or other fluids become excessively acidic and can occur during severe illness or organ dysfunction.

Known for his Mappilapattu performances, he had sung and acted in several Mappila song albums and worked as a playback singer. His stage name reflected his roots in Wayanad. He had also shared the stage with Udit Narayan at an event in Bahrain.
