Probe on Jayalalithaa’s death a good move: Apollo Hospitals

The Tamil Nadu government’s decision to set up an inquiry commission to probe the cause of death of former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa is a good move, said Apollo Hospitals on Thursday.

It was in Apollo Hospital here Jayalalithaa was hospitalised for over 70 days.

In a statement issued here, the hospital said: “The Tamil Nadu Government’s decision to set up a Committee to enquire into the cause of the death of Puratchi Thalaivi Selvi J Jayalalithaa is a good move.

“It is our sincerest wish that finally, the findings of the Committee will put to rest all the unfounded speculation in this regard.”
