Sarang died while undergoing treatment for injuries sustained in an accident, which happened on May 6. He passed away, Wednesday morning before the SSLC results were announced. Sarang was a student of Government Boys HSS, Attingal. He secured a full A+, without any help of grace marks.

He said that the family's decision to donate organs will encourage the society for social service.

Sarang was injured in an accident near Kunanthukonam bridge in Vadakkottukav on May 6, while he was travelling in an autorickshaw with his mother.
