After going to bed, however, she suddenly became sick, with the worst symptom being chest pains. We rushed her to the RK Khan Hospital where she was still responding, crying to me about how much her chest and body were paining. When they started giving her medication, she calmed down and assured me that she was okay and that I should not worry. She kept holding and squeezing our hands through her pain,” explained Ramdin. The 43-year-old stated that as the day went by, Tianca’s condition worsened, as she stayed by her daughter’s side, in awe of the doctors.
“There must have been six doctors and specialists trying to figure out what was wrong with her and how they could help, but still, they could not understand what was going on. They kept me informed as her blood rate and pressure fell, and they tried to secure her a bed in the ICU. They then put her on more medication to try and get her back, but her body had rejected it. She was then placed onto the ventilator for around three to four hours before slipping away,” she said as she recalled her daughter’s last hours of life.
Communications officer of Chatsworth SAPS, Cpt Cheryl Pillay, commented that at this stage, police are awaiting the results of the postmortem to determine the cause of death. Chatsworth police are investigating an inquest docket.

For more than 20 years he was the leading actor of the Vologda Drama Theater, on the stage of which he played dozens of roles.

He liked to play negative roles, but even such characters turned out to be charming. One of his last works is the almost prophetic image of Lucario Cupiello in the play “Christmas for Cupiello”, the naive and childishly touching head of the family, who creates a toy depicting the birth of Christ and is a symbol of a happy family. Classical speech, staged diction, refined manners, a combination of drama and gentle humor – this is how hundreds of Vologda theater fans love Tanygin. This is how they will remember him, writes the cultinfo.ru portal.
