Sreekumar, a statistics professor, had retired from Maharajas College in Ernakulam in Kerala.

"He suffered a chest pain on Thursday and was rushed to a private hospital in Sharjah. It was an acute heart attack and he passed away this morning," the relative said.

"Unfortunately, we cannot fly his body to Kerala at this point of time. So, the family has decided to cremate him in Sharjah," a relative was quoted as saying. PMSPMS
