Mr K. V. Antony (76) of Kaitharath House, North Chalakudy, passed away peacefully at Torbay Hospital, Devon, UK, on 27 July 2026, following a sudden and severe illness while visiting his family.
Mr Antony had travelled to the United Kingdom with his wife, Elsy Antony, to spend time with their three sons, who are all settled in the UK. During the visit, he became unwell and was admitted to hospital on 25 July 2026 after experiencing severe body pain and a rapid deterioration in his health.
Following medical investigations, doctors diagnosed him with pneumonia and sepsis. Despite receiving intensive treatment, including broad-spectrum antibiotics and specialist medical care, the infection progressed rapidly, resulting in multiple organ failure. He passed away peacefully on 27 July, surrounded by his loving family.
Mr Antony was a devoted husband, caring father and proud grandfather who was deeply loved by his family and respected by all who knew him. His sudden passing has brought great sorrow to relatives and friends both in the UK and in Kerala.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Elsy Antony (Njarlely Parakka); his sons Sinto, Brinto and Rinto; daughters-in-law Retty, Treasa and Preethi; and his cherished grandchildren Steve, Simon, Eva, Luke, Salia, Isha, Patrick and Nyra.
His mortal remains will be repatriated to Kerala, where the funeral service will be held at St Joseph’s Church, North Chalakudy. The date and time of the funeral will be announced later.
The family has expressed its sincere gratitude to the doctors, nurses and staff of Torbay Hospital and Newton Abbot Community Hospital for the compassionate care they provided during Mr Antony’s final days. They also thanked relatives, friends and well-wishers for their prayers, support and messages of condolence at this difficult time.
Kerala Link extends its heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family and prays that God grants them strength and comfort in the days ahead.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
