The supplied article claims that Bollywood actor Nana Patekar died at the age of 75 in October 2026. This is a major claim about a public figure and should be independently verified before publication. The rewrite below preserves the article’s attribution rather than presenting the reported death or medical findings as independently confirmed facts.
News Article
According to the supplied report, a post-mortem examination at Goa Medical College and Hospital identified a heart attack linked to a blood clot blocking the left main coronary artery as the cause of Nana Patekar’s reported death.
The article states that the actor was taken to a private hospital on the morning of October 8 after his condition deteriorated. Medical staff reportedly performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for 45 minutes, but he could not be revived. The report gives his time of death as 5:10 a.m.
His body was subsequently taken to Goa Medical College and Hospital for a post-mortem examination before being transported to Pune, where the article says his last rites were performed with state honours.
What the Report Says About the Cause of Death
According to the medical findings quoted in the article, a blood clot obstructed the left main coronary artery, a major blood vessel supplying the heart. The report also attributes the fatal heart attack to fatty deposits in the artery and describes the death as natural.
Family’s Statement
The article quotes Nana Patekar’s son, Malhar, as saying the family decided to perform the last rites that same evening because several hours had passed since the reported early-morning incident.
It also says the family intends to continue the actor’s legacy through the Naam Foundation, which works in areas including water conservation, education and healthcare.
Verification warning: Do not publish this as confirmed news until the reported death and post-mortem findings are corroborated by reliable, independent sources.
The reported cause of death is consistent with coverage published by The New Indian Express, which cited a senior doctor at Goa Medical College and Hospital and news agency PTI. The report identified a heart attack caused by a blood clot blocking the left main coronary artery.
