Prashant Tamang dies of cardiac arrest
Prashant Tamang, a famous singer and actor, died suddenly because his heart stopped working.
This is called a cardiac arrest.
Another person, Agnivesh Agarwal, also died this way.
Doctors say this is happening more to people under 50.
It's because of bad eating habits, not moving enough, stress, and sometimes family health history.
The heart can stop suddenly, even if someone looks healthy.
Doctors say learning CPR, eating healthy food, and exercising can help prevent this.
Prashant Tamang, a 43-year-old singer and actor, died of cardiac arrest in Delhi.
Agnivesh Agarwal, 49, also recently died of cardiac arrest.
Cardiac arrest is increasing among people under 50 due to lifestyle factors like unhealthy diets, stress, and sedentary habits.
Cardiac arrest is different from a heart attack; a heart attack can cause cardiac arrest.
Even healthy-looking individuals can suddenly develop a heart blockage leading to cardiac arrest.
