“My father is the person who has died. He was suffering from Diabetes and Cholesterol and was taking Ayurvedic treatment. On the 20th when I phoned him he said he is having chest pains. When I came to see him one of his friends had removed him to hospital. The doctors at the hospital did everything possible to revive him. But he passed away following a heart attack. His death was a natural death; the cause was a ‘heart attack’.”
