“He was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) on Aug 15. He had completed both doses of his vaccination,” she told Bernama when contacted.

She said Wan Ismail, who was suffering from diabetes, had been placed under an induced coma on Monday.

“Our whole family contracted Covid-19 and we were undergoing home quarantine in Telipot. Our family members in Melor were also infected,” she added.

She said Wan Ismail was buried at the Bechah Keranji cemetery in Melor at 5.30pm today.

He leaves behind two wives, Norizan Yusoff, 60, and Siti Madinah, 11 children and three step-children.
