Noted actor and comedian Krishnamoorthy passed away due to heart attack on October 7 at 4:30 A.M in the morning at the shooting spot of director Sakthi Chithambaram's upcoming project in Kumily. The actor was survived by a wife and two children.
The actor was known for his comedic performances in the comedy tracks of Vadivelu and Vivek to name a few. Apart from his humourous act, Krishnamoorthy surprised many with his intense acting in director Bala's Naan Kadavul.
Krishnamoorthy's funeral was attended by several personalities from the Tamil film industry, with some of them includes actor Karthi, 'Lollu Sabha' Manohar, 'Cool' Suresh. Speaking to Behindwoods, Manohar said "I worked with (Krishnamoorthy) in Sigaram Thodu, in which we played the role of police officers. One day he asked me why I wasn't picking up his calls. After hearing that, I felt like I had an elder brother who can ask me with such right."
The actor then expressed his condolences to the family of the bereaved. Actor Cool Suresh spoke about Krishnamoorthy's journey from being a manager to making his own place in the film industry.
