Veteran singer-composer Bappi Lahiri died this morning due to obstructive sleep apnea at CritiCare Hospital, Mumbai. He was 69. The news of his death has left his fans in shock, especially since he passed away just 10 days after the demise of India's nightingale Lata Mangeshkar.
Sharing more details about Lahiri's death, Dr Deepak Namjoshi, Director- CritiCare Hospital, told PTI, "Lahiri had been admitted to the hospital for a month due to lung infection which was caused by Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). We had discharged him on Monday and he was absolutely fine. All his vitals were normal. But his health deteriorated on Tuesday and his family called in. He was brought to the hospital. He had multiple health issues. He died due to OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) shortly before midnight."
