He was also tested positive for the novel coronavirus a few days ago, and was suffering from Covid-19.
The composer was hospitalised few days ago at Surana Hospital, Chembur where his condition deteriorated.
Music composer Salim Merchant said,"He had multiple issues. He had a kidney issue and had a transplant a while ago. But recently he got to know about kidney infection. He was on the ventilator for the last four days, after his situation started getting worse. Kidney infection was the beginning and then he got critical".
