Death

He was living in a rented apartment in Neha CHS building situated at Ahinsa Marg in Malad West, Mumbai from February 2020. On 6 August 2020, his body was found hanging to his kitchen’s ceiling by the security guard of his building. An officer of local police suspected that he had died two days back as his body smelt foul. A case of accidental death was reported and one of the police officers said,

We have not found any evidence that suggests he may have been killed. Also, no suicide note has been found at the house so far. We are still investigating the case.”

On his demise, his friend & TV actor, Avinash Sachdev said,

“I was in touch with him through the lockdown; just two weeks ago, we were chatting with each other via voice notes. He told me that he feels blessed to have come back from a bad phase in life, which he fought successfully and now he was busy with work. He went through a rough patch when he fell ill and was hospitalised in Bengaluru, a couple of years ago. After his recovery, his parents were averse to him returning to Mumbai, but he came back and rented an apartment not too far from my residence. In fact, on Wednesday night, I had passed through his lane and saw two fire brigades and a police van outside the building. I checked with another friend, who told me that someone had died by suicide. Yesterday, I got to know that it was Sam. I am still shaken up and can’t come to terms with it. Sam was a fighter, not someone who would give up. Just 15 days ago, he was in Lonavala and had told me that he wanted to step out.”

The Bollywood actor, Sidharth Malhotra shared his condolence, he said,

Really sad and unfortunate. #RIPSameerSharma.”
