Woman suffers cardiac arrest, dies during live TV show

It is the first such incident reported for the state so far.
A noted writer and artist in Jammu and Kashmir died of cardiac arrest during a live interactive morning show.

81-year-old R.J. was speaking during 'Good Morning J&K' show when she suddenly had a heart attack.

The viral video of the programme shows R suddenly stops talking and struggles to breathe.

"She was telling us a few interesting things about her life and was looking absolutely normal," the anchor of the show, Zahid Mukhtar told The Telegraph.

"But suddenly she stopped talking and began having hiccups. We had to cut the interview (and switch to) a documentary to attend to her and take her to hospital."

Mukhtar added: "She had a great association with television and her last words were on how she had started doing the dramas."

According to the IBT times, R was rushed to the hospital where she was declared dead. R was known figure in the state and also served as Secretary of J&K Cultural Academy.

It is the first such incident reported for the state so far.

It looked like she had a stroke rather then going into cardiac arrest. Either way it's sad to see. But 81 years old, not a bad run...

[Necrotic Bowel]

The look on the guys face at 0:45 is priceless.

That is eerie. Wow. How she stops for a moment feeling something is up and then her eyes roll back and she exhales like that.

She looked great for 81.
