Union Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, who was struggling with a
life threatening liver ailment, died at Global Hospitals in Chennai on Tuesday
afternoon. He was 67.
Deshmukh experienced improvement but turned crucial and died due to multiple organ failure at 2 pm. His family members, including his three sons, were by his side when he breathed his last.
He was in the process of treatment at Breach Candy medical center in Mumbai for around last a week and needed to be shifted to super-speciality Global hospitals on August 6 as a result of deterioration in his condition.
A team of doctors, which includes famous liver transplantation surgeon Dr Mohamed Rela, had devoted their best to save him. Deshmukh was on life-support devices.
Attempts to save Vilasrao Deshmukh suffered a major setback after a man in coma, whose liver and kidney were to be harvested and transplanted in Deshmukh, died hours before the operation yesterday night.
Manmohan Singh said "Mr Deshmukh was a trusted colleague and an able administrator who worked at panchayat, state and central levels with admirable dedication," Singh said in his message.
