It also gave birth to rumors that Vivekh could have died because of the side effect of the Covid-19 vaccine. Now, the Immunization Division of the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has said that Vivek's death was coincidental and not related to the vaccine he took on April 15.

The AEFI committee report stands as the final link to establish a person's cause of death. The report also suggested that Vivek suffered Acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock with ventricular fibrillation in a known case of hypertension.’ Vivekh died at SIMS Hospital in Vadapalani in Chennai.
