According to a report by Rappler, Flavier was brought to the National Kidney and Transplant Institute last September 10 on suspicion of food poisoning, and was in the hospital's intensive care unit from September 11 until his death on Thursday.

Over the past three years Flavier had suffered a series of small strokes that left his speech facilities intact, but compromised his balance and mobility.

He leaves behind his wife, Susan, and their children Jondi, Johnet, James, and Joy.

He died surrounded by his family, his former chief of staff at the Senate, Rudy Quimbo, former staff member Ramon Navarra, former DOH undersecretary Susy Pineda Mercado, and former senator Orly Mercado.
