Humane Sagar death: Renowned Odia playback singer Humane Sagar has died at the age of 34 while undergoing treatment at AIIMS Bhubaneswar, leaving the regional music industry in shock. The singer, born on November 25, 1990, had been admitted to the hospital three days earlier in a critical state and placed under continuous medical observation.
Despite intensive care and advanced life-support measures, he passed away on Monday evening (November 17).
Humane Sagar death reason
According to hospital officials, Sagar had been brought to the emergency ward around 1:10 PM on October 14. He was immediately shifted to the Medical ICU, where specialists attempted to stabilise him. However, his condition showed no improvement. Earlier in the day, his ex-wife had also informed the media that his health hadn’t progressed over the past 24 hours. Doctors later confirmed that his death was caused by multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), a life-threatening condition in which two or more organs fail simultaneously.
Tributes poured in across Odisha soon after the news broke. Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi expressed his grief on social media, writing on X, “I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of renowned playback singer Human Sagar. His demise is an irreparable loss to our music and cinema. I convey my condolences to the bereaved family and pray to God for the peace of the departed soul (sic).” His message reflected the collective sentiment across the state, where Sagar’s voice had been cherished for over a decade.
Humane Sagar’s songs and music career
Sagar’s musical journey began early, shaped by a family with deep roots in the arts. Growing up in Titilagarh, Bolangir, he was exposed to music through his grandfather and father, both of whom were music directors. This foundation would go on to influence his career and help mould his distinctive emotive singing style.
His breakthrough came in 2012, when he won Season 2 of Tarang TV’s Voice of Odisha, capturing audiences with his powerful performances. Three years later, he made his playback debut with the Ollywood film Ishq Tu Hi Tu (2015), which became a major commercial success.
