Former Indian cricketer David Jude Johnson reportedly died after he fell off the balcony of his fourth floor apartment at Kothanur in the city on Thursday (20 June 2024) around 10.30 am. He was 52. 

Johnson was living with his family at SLV Paradise Apartment in Kanakashri Layout.

His wife is said to have told police that Johnson slipped and fell off the balcony. However, police suspect it to be a case of suicide.

According to police, Johnson was dealing with alcohol-related issues and had joined a de-addiction centre in the city a few months ago.
