KOLKATA: Cops are sending reports of the postmortem and viscera of singer KK for histopathological test after the autopsy examination showed that he had a fatty layer around the 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.
