Commission says Jayalalithaa died on December 4, not 5

CHENNAI: Did Jayalalithaa die on December 4, 2016, or December 5, 2016? The 475-page report of Justice A Arumughaswamy has concluded that she died between 3 and 3. 50pm on December 4, and not at 11. 30pm the next day.

This was based on the depositions of echo technician M Nalini and Jayalalithaa’s nephew Deepak J. The judge also quotes Dr Sudha Seshayyan, who embalmed Jayalalithaa at 11. 30pm on December 5, 2016, as deposing that Jayalalithaa would have passed away 10-15 hours earlier.
