He was in hospital last year and underwent a heart intervention. A report from his hospital, last year, said that doctors, during a routine medical check-up, found that his regime of medication was taking its toll on his liver and kidneys.

There was an accumulation of fluids around the heart and lungs coupled with the lung infection which had to be drawn out.
