Jayalalithaa's last words: What she told the doctor
Dr Sivakumar recorded her voice when Jayalalithaa had breathing problems. She was admitted to the Apollo Hospital on September 22, 2016. The beep sounds of the monitor are also audible in the 1: 07-minute long audio clip. Amid heavy breathing, Jayalalithaa told Sivakumar to not download the application (meant to record her wheezing) if it was getting complicated.
The audio
Jayalalithaa said voice of breathing similar to elated fans
Dr Sivakumar said Jayalalithaa identified deities after her tracheostomy procedure in October 2016. Talking about her breathing, Jayalalithaa told the physician the sound was similar to that of fans of theatres. In another 33-second audio, Dr Sivakumar informed Jayalalithaa her wheezing wasn't intense at that point in time. VK Sasikala's counsel N Raja Senthoor Pandian said Dr Sivakumar's submission was marked as an exhibit.
