Eddelu Manjunatha director Guruprasad dies by suicide

Guruprasad, the acclaimed Kannada director known for films like Matha and Eddelu Manjunatha, was found dead in his Bengaluru flat, with initial reports indicating suicide. The discovery of his decomposed body was made after neighbours reported a strong smell coming from his apartment.

Authorities suspect his death occurred several days ago, but investigations are ongoing to determine the



exact circumstances.

Guruprasad, who had just marked his 52nd birthday, was reportedly facing severe financial difficulties, compounded by alleged harassment from creditors, numerous court cases and recent accusations.
