Amrish Puri

Amrish Puri,  died 17. th.  January 2005 at the age of 72 in Mumbai (Bombay) from a brain haemorrhage.

A hospital administrator said he had been admitted to hospital because of a blood clot in his brain after falling in his home.

"He suffered a head injury due to the fall and didn't really recover," Anupam Verma of Mumbai's Hinduja hospital told the Associated Press.

His death has saddened the Bollywood fraternity who say he will be hard to replace.

 

After "Temple of Doom" Amrish Puri returned to the Indian movies (by the way has the worlds biggest production!).

So little is known of him here in the West, but a look at his filmography shows that he has been very active.
