Gulak's son also noted that the eldest son broke the news to the family when he entered the house in tears.
He said:
“On Sunday morning, I was in my room waiting for his (Gulak) driver to come so that we can go to the airport to bring him home.

“A few minutes later, our eldest brother came into the house crying and he told us about the news of our father’s death. The first thing I did was to call his telephone line to confirm and it did not go through. Afterwards, everybody in the house began to cry.’’
