Developing: News Today reported on Sunday, October 25, that Dr. K. Damodharan, popularly known as Chef Damu, had died at age 72. The Federal’s X account also reported his death, describing him as a renowned chef and television personality.
Details about the circumstances remain less clear. An X user, sona_sebin, said in a Tamil-language post that Damu had been receiving treatment for health problems at a private hospital in Chennai and died after treatment was unsuccessful. That post does not identify the hospital, and the News Today report does not mention treatment or a location. The Chennai account therefore remains unverified in the material available for this report.
A separate Instagram result carried a contradictory claim that Chef Damu had dismissed death rumors and was safe, but the supplied excerpt did not establish a direct, attributable statement from him. The available reporting does not include a statement from his family, hospital or officials, so further details have not been independently established.
