A source to the family confirmed the matter.
“I can confirm that he just died. Connie (Wife to Shona) is busy with the funeral arrangements,” said the source.
Earlier this week, Sunday World reported that Shona was on a ventilator in ICU and his condition had recently worsened.
According to the source, a group of specialists had performed a heart operation.
