Meanwhile, cardiologist Tony Leachon said that Apatan’s death was caused by a hemorrhagic stroke.

“According to the doctors na nakakita sa kanya sa emergency room, nagkaroon siya ng  blood clots sa brain. So, ibig sabihin tumaas ang blood pressure niya  pumutok ‘yung ugat sa brain niya. So, ang ikinamatay niya, eh,  hemorrhagic stroke,” Leachon told a television interview.

He warned that extreme consumption of food, especially red meat, may lead  to health problem.

As a precaution, he advised that moderation is key to maintaining good health.

“Ang pagkain talaga, pag sobra, hindi maganda lalo na pagka maalat, mataba at matamis,” he explained
