The doctor stated that Nana Patekar suffered a heart attack caused by a blood clot, a condition that occurred when a blood clot obstructed the left main coronary artery, responsible for supplying blood to a substantial portion of the heart. The postmortem report mentions the cause of death as “acute myocardial infarction due to left main coronary artery thrombosis secondary to atherosclerotic occlusive coronary artery disease, a natural cause of death”.
Doctor at the hospital revealed that the actor’s caretaker had requested an ambulance to the medical facility after Nana Patekar’s condition deteriorated. An ambulance was then sent to his residence, located near the private hospital. Despite resuscitation attempts for 45 minutes using CPR, Patekar could not be revived and was pronounced dead at 5.10 am, a doctor had said, suspecting a heart attack.
The mortal remains were later taken to GMCH, where an autopsy was conducted.
