The news of his passing was delivered by his family who, in a heartfelt statement on Facebook and a letter to his fans, friends, and relatives, confirmed that Abhradeep had indeed passed away at just 27 years old. Many of us knew him for his hilarious rants against horror movies, and most of all, for passionately supporting Chelsea FC through thick and thin. He was beloved by many of us who came to know him through YouTube, Instagram, and even Letterboxd.
Due to his young age, understandably, many shocked fans are vehemently searching for the reason for Abhradeep’s passing, and albeit with heavy hearts, we’re letting you know how it occurred.
How did Angry Rantman die?
Angry Rantman, also known as Abhradeep Saha, passed away due to multiple organ failure. Saha had been admitted to Narayana Cardiac Hospital in Bengaluru after experiencing serious health issues and undergoing open-heart surgery, which necessitated placing him on life support.

Many attentive fans were already aware of his condition through an update from his father on Saha’s health status this past Sunday, April 14th. Soumyadeep, at the time, wrote, “He is in critical condition and relies on life-saving support. Please pray for his speedy recovery.” Despite many fans believing he would pull through, Saha’s organs began to fail. Angry Rantman’s last YouTube video had also been uploaded a month before his passing, indicating the severity of his illness.
Abhradeep Saha is survived by his family, and he will continue to be remembered by all of his 480 thousand subscribers on YouTube for his good-humored content, genuine persona, and ultimately, for continuously bringing smiles to our faces.
