The suspense surrounding the death of veteran actor Nana Patekar has been put to rest. The final postmortem report has clarified that his death was natural and that he died due to a massive heart attack. The report was submitted by a team of doctors from Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) to the Goa Police. The police have officially confirmed this.

According to the police, Nana Patekar died of a heart attack due to a blood clot in the main artery supplying blood to the heart. The police said that when the details of the postmortem report were shared with the family members, they also accepted it and did not raise any objections.

At 2:30 am on October 8, Nana Patekar sent a message to his family friend through WhatsApp that he was unwell. He was immediately rushed to Manipal Hospital in Dona Paula. There, the doctors performed CPR for about 45 minutes but to no avail, and he was declared dead.

The Panaji police initially registered a case of suspicious death under Section 194 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). However, the latest postmortem report has revealed that his death was natural and that there is no room for suspicion against his son Malhar Patekar and nephew Prasad Patekar. With this, the police will soon close the case.

Nana Patekar's last rites were performed with full state honours at his farmhouse in Donje village in Pune district on Thursday. The police fired three rounds in the air and offered a salute. Celebrities from the film industry like Jackie Shroff, directors Anil Sharma, Anees Bazmee and producer Feroz Nadiadwala attended the funeral and paid their respects. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also paid their respects to his body. A huge number of fans gathered to see their favorite actor one last time.
