Thodupuzha: The world of Malayalam cinema is in shock over the death of actor Anil Nedumangad. But locals say that Anil, who drowned in the water, was rescued alive. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead at the scene. But his friend Arun Raj from Pala, who was with him, said he died before he could be rushed to hospital.
The accident happened around 5pm on Christmas Day. Anil was bathing in the pool with his friends when he fell into a deep ravine. Friends informed the neighbors and the local youth arrived within minutes and brought Anil ashore. Anil was alive when he was taken to the ambulance. But if Anil had been rushed to a private hospital in Thodupuzha from the dam site, he would have died by then.
However, doctors said that Anil was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition. Within eight minutes of drowning, Anil was brought ashore. Friends also confirm this. Anil came to Thodupuzha to act in the movie Peace starring Joju George. Arun and another friend came here from Pala to celebrate Christmas. They then went to the dam site near the shooting location to take a bath. Arun said that Anil knew how to swim.
Meanwhile, the entire Malayalam film world mourned Anil’s death. Director and actor Madhupal said that Anil is a very intelligent actor. Together we did the movie Let the Sinless Be Stoned. Madhupal said that Anil was an actor who could do a lot of things. Actor Biju Menon wrote on Facebook that Anil is no more and how can I believe in myself.
