"Apu" masterpiece, dies of covid
here
Bengali actor Soumitra Chatterjee, who died at a Kolkata hospital on Sunday after a battle with post-Covid ailments, was cremated with full state honours. He was 85.
Chatterjee was admitted to Belle Vue Clinic on October 6 after testing positive. He was later shifted to the ICU as Covid encephalopathy set in, affecting his nervous system and causing renal dysfunction. He recovered from the infection but his health did not improve, despite plasma therapy, dialysis and tracheotomy. His condition severely deteriorated on Saturday following multi-organ failure. Doctors said he had stopped responding to treatment.
He is survived by wife Deepa Chatterjee, daughter Poulomi Basu and son Sougata Chatterjee.
