Dr. Shekhar Salkar shared details of the actor’s final hours, stating that Nana Patekar messaged a friend around 2:30 a.m. saying he was feeling unwell. Because it was late at night, the friend did not see the message immediately. He later called and arrived at Nana Patekar’s house at about 4 a.m.

According to the doctor, when the friend reached the house, the actor was sweating heavily and his condition was rapidly deteriorating. Attempts were made to attend to him and provide initial aid, but he gradually lost consciousness. An ambulance was called with the help of a caretaker.

CPR and other medical interventions continued for about 45 minutes to an hour. However, according to the doctors, the actor had already died by the time he reached the hospital, and despite all efforts, he could not be revived.

Family not present at the time of his final moments

Dr. Salkar noted that a medico‑legal case (MLC) was registered after Nana Patekar’s death, and his body was sent to Goa Medical College for post‑mortem. He added that when the actor’s health deteriorated and he was taken to the hospital, no family members were present. Only a friend and a caretaker were with him, trying to get him to the hospital and provide initial assistance.
