Muntarin Mujib Chowdhury, 33, allegedly slipped and fell, Nixon’s personal assistant Khandker Jahidur Rahman told bdnews24.com on Wednesday.
The lawmaker fell ill at home with respiratory problems after his wife's death but recovered on being given oxygen, said Rahman.

Meanwhile, Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Gulshan division Deputy Commissioner Lutful Kabir told bdnews24.com that the hospital authorities notified them about Muntarin’s death around 10pm on Tuesday.
“But they did not state the cause of the death.”
Police were yet to decide whether to autopsy the body to ascertain the nature of the death.
“No complaints have been lodged yet. We can’t do anything about this right now,” Kabir said.
However, quoting members of the family, Rahman said Muntarin’s Namaj-e-Janaza would be held at Gulshan’s Azad Mosque on Thursday.
She would be buried at Banani graveyard after her parents arrived from Canada.
