The death of Mayank Pawar has sent shockwaves through the fitness and reality TV industry. Passing away at the age of 37 with such a fit physique has left many questioning the cause of his death. So far, neither friends nor family have officially revealed the reason, but reports suggest it could be due to liver damage.
According to OneIndia, Mayank had been under significant stress following his divorce. His mother, Rajni Pawar, revealed that he was married but got divorced in 2024. The separation with his wife caused a phase of "stress and depression," leading to serious liver problems that was detected in early 2025.
Mayank’s mother claimed that the Splitsvilla Season 7 fame was undergoing treatment but had not fully recovered. He was reportedly at his Delhi home in Rana Pratap Bagh when his health suddenly deteriorated, leading to his untimely death. While the exact cause of death has not been officially confirmed, it is believed that his liver condition might have worsened rapidly.
