Police recovered Russell's body from his home in Nakhalpara. On searching his room, a suicide note supposedly left by Russell read: No one is to be blamed for my death. I have done this willingly. No one else should be implicated regarding this. And my body must not be sent for autopsy.
Russell wrote the lyrics of a number of well-known songs such as 'Surjo Snane Chol' and 'Din Bari Jay'.
He also collaborated with Bappa Mazumder many times, who is one of the most esteemed Bangladeshi musicians.
