A 26-year-old Indian student, Mohammed Kumel Shaik, died of cardiac arrest, a day after celebrating his graduation walk from Golden Gate University in California. His friends started a fundraiser to help send his body back to India for his last rites.“Our dear friend Mohammad Kumel Shaik, just 26 years old, passed away unexpectedly this morning in his sleep due to cardiac arrest. Yesterday, he celebrated one of the biggest moments of his life — his graduation walk from Golden Gate University. None of us imagined that would be our last day with him,” organizer of the fundraiser Ravi Teja Nannapaneni wrote for the fundraiser.“Mohammad came to the US with big dreams and worked incredibly hard for his future and for his family back in India. He was kind, humble, caring, and always there for his friends. His sudden loss has completely shattered everyone who knew him,” it said.“We are now trying to raise funds to help send his body back to India so his family can see him one last time and perform his final rites. The family is from a lower-middle-class background, and this support would also help ease the burden of his educational loans and unexpected expenses during this heartbreaking time,” it added.According to reports, Shaik is from Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, India.
