Rapper Dharmesh Parmar, who was popularly known by his stage name MC Tod Fod, died earlier this week. He was 24. A few days after his death, his mother revealed in an interview with Dainik Bhaskar that he got 2 heart attacks within a span of 4 months. She revealed that he suffered his first attack four months ago when he was on a trip to Ladakh with his friends. His family members only got to know about it after he suffered his second attack at his home. "He underwent heart surgery as well, but he never used to rest. He was crazy about rap and loved music more than his own life. My child is now gone, and I could not do anything to save him," she told Dainik Bhaskar.
