He committed suicide on 26 December 1989.

Art
Krishnakumar's oeuvre includes a number of figures of young men, which Jhaveri suggests are self-portraits. Wyma argues that his Vasco da Gama (1985) explores themes of colonialism. He was influenced by Pablo Picasso, Auguste Rodin, and director Jean-Luc Godard.
