“His sudden loss is an almost unbearable tragedy for those who knew him well,” he added while praying that Allah Almighty may bless his joyous soul.

Alamgir, 63, had committed suicide under mysterious circumstances in the provincial capital on Thursday by shooting himself in the temple at his Gulberg apartment.

He was a known businessman who owned PSL's Multan Sultans and was also its managing director. His family said Alamgir was unmarried and scheduled to tie the knot in December.

Police found him dead with a pistol and a suicide note he left in which he mentioned the ‘endless list of illnesses’ he was suffering from as prime reason for suicide.
