Nana Patekar Death: Autopsy Report Confirms Heart Attack Due To Blood Clot In Left Main Coronary Artery

Veteran actor Nana Patekar passed away from a heart attack brought on by a blood clot in the left main coronary artery, as confirmed by his autopsy report. A senior doctor from Goa Medical College and Hospital verified these results on October 11. The 75-year-old was brought to a private hospital from his home in Dona Paula, near Panaji, early on October 8.

Despite efforts to resuscitate him, he was pronounced dead at 5:10 am. According to PTI, the autopsy revealed that Nana had experienced a heart attack after a blood clot obstructed the left main coronary artery, which supplies blood to a significant part of the heart. The cause of death was officially recorded as "acute myocardial infarction due to left main coronary artery thrombosis secondary to atherosclerotic occlusive coronary artery disease, a natural cause of death."

Nana Patekar's caretaker had called for an ambulance when the actor fell ill at home. Despite an ambulance being dispatched within a kilometer of the hospital and doctors performing CPR for about 45 minutes, they were unable to revive him. His remains were then transported to Goa Medical College and Hospital for a postmortem examination.

Nana's son, Malhar Patekar, traveled to Goa to bring his father's body back to Maharashtra, where he was cremated with full state honors. Several dignitaries from various fields, including politics, Bollywood, sports, and others, attended the funeral to pay their final respects.
