AIDMK leader and Tamil Nadu chief minister, J Jayalalithaa passed away of cardiac arrest today. The hospital has finally confirmed ending all uncertainties over her health. She was 68
The Hospital release said, “It’s with indescribable grief that we announce the demise of our esteemed honourable chief minister of Tamil Nadu Puratchi Thalaivi Amma at 11.30 PM today (05-12-2016)”
Earlier Apollo Hospital has rejected the reports of Tamil Nadu chief minister Jayalalitha’s death as ‘baseless and false ‘.
President, vice president, prime minister, ministers, Congress leaders and other parties’ leader condoled the death of popular Tamil leader.
Arrangements are being made at Apollo Hospitals to take her mortal remains to Poes Garden, Ms. Jayalalithaa’s official residence. The government has announced three days holiday in view of the mourning period.
Ms. Jayalalithaa’s health took a turn for the worse when she suffered a cardiac arrest on Sunday evening at the Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, where she had been undergoing treatment since September 22 for dehydration and fever. She has been on extracorporeal life support since then.
