Johannesburg, Nov. 24 -- 66-year-old Satish Dhupelia, the great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi has died due to coronavirus in South Africa, on Sunday three days after his 66th birthday.

Satish Dhupelia's sister Uma Dhupelia-Mesthrie confirmed the news on Facebook. She mentioned that her brother had been admitted to a hospital for the past one month due to pneumonia.

"He has suffered from pulmonary fibrosis for many years, but three weeks ago, he contracted pneumonia. While in hospital, he picked up a superbug which led to a second admission. During this second visit, he picked up COVID-19," Uma wrote on Facebook. He was being treated for COVID-19 and died of a massive heart attack on November 22, 2020.
