Exact cause of Lata Mangeshkar's death: the singer suffered a septic shock

It has been less than 24 hours since it was confirmed that Bharat Ratna and the Nightingale of India, Lata Mangeshkar passed away but the country continues to mourn the death of the legend where an array of celebs also dropped in to pay their respects yesterday when her mortal was being honored.

While everybody knew how the singer passed away but the details of the same were not known. It can now be confirmed that Mangeshkar died due to a septic shock with multiple-organ failure at Breach Candy Hospital after battling COVID-19 related complications for 29 days.

Her team of doctors from Breach Candy, who were present at the funeral in Shivaji Park, were personally thanked by PM Modi for looking after her.

As known, Mangeshkar was admitted to the hospital on January 9, two days after she tested positive for Covid. She was advised hospitalisation as she had developed pneumonia. As her condition deteriorated, she had to be put on non-invasive ventilator and then on a mechanical ventilator. Her condition improved and she was taken off the mechanical ventilator on January 27. But her health took a turn for the worse and she went back on the ventilator a few days ago.

N Santhanam, CEO of Breach Candy Hospital, said that Dr Pratit Samdani and a team of three resident doctors were looking after her constantly.

We hope the legend's souls rests in peace.
