Imedi TV

A Georgian died of a stroke, caused by watching the notorious video of Imedi channel.

Vano Nasaridze remained in hospital in Tbilisi since Sunday, was conducted a many-hours' operation.

Previously two people - a man and a woman died of heart attacks.

It was a video on alleged invasion of Russian troops and death of President Saakashvili. It stirred a panic all around Georgia. Yet it turned out to be an "innocent" attempt to "show" the scenario of possible events in case the "Georgian society won't be consolidated against the Russian plan." On the order of President Mikheil Saakashvili, his press secretary Manjgaladze arrived in the studio and calmed down the people, saying such a turn of events can't happen in Georgia at the present-day stage.

The Imedi channel apologized to the audience for the clip's being an "imitation" and its stirring the society.
