Nana Patekar’s final post-mortem report has confirmed the cause of death as a natural one — specifically, a massive heart attack triggered by a blood clot in the main coronary artery. The findings, issued by a team of doctors at Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in Bambolim, were shared with the Goa Police and then relayed to IANS.
With the family, including his son Malhar Patekar and nephew Prasad Patekar. Accepting the medical report and raising no objections, the police are expected to close the unnatural death case soon. The investigation had initially been launched under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), with the case registered as UD No. 62/2026 in Panaji.
According to the report, the clot disrupted blood flow to the heart, leading to cardiac arrest. At around 2:30 am on October 8, Patekar had messaged a family friend about feeling unwell. He was rushed to Manipal Hospital in Dona Paula, where doctors attempted resuscitation for nearly 45 minutes before declaring him dead.
