KOLKATA: Postmortem and viscera reports of singer KK are being sent for histopathological test after the autopsy examination showed he had a fatty layer around his heart that had turned white and the valves were stiff when the heart was opened, police sources said on Thursday. Histopathology is the study of tissues that can reveal blockages.
“Doctors have said the stiffness in the heart develops over a period of time. Hence, postmortem and viscera reports will be sent for histopathological tests that can reveal blockages,” a police source said.
Cops added that 10 different medicines that deal with gastric and liver, and
Vitamin C were found in his body along with multiple antacids and syrups that provide quick relief in acidity, heartburn and gas. The medicines found in his body included some ayurvedic and homeopathic drugs.
“It was learnt that KK frequently used to pop in antacid pills. On the morning of May 31, he told his manager that he was low on energy. On that night, hours before his death, he had told his wife that his shoulder and arms were paining,” police source said.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, officers of
New Market
police station questioned one of the celebrity managers of Kolkata-based
BlackEyed Event House
that had arranged for KK to sing at the event. The person was with KK and his manager
Hitesh Bhatt
in the car when he was brought to the hotel from the Nazrul Mancha venue.
Cops also spoke to the driver of the car, Etwari Yadav, who said that KK was feeling uneasy during the ride back to the hotel.
