The only son of CPN (Maoist Center) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has passed away.
Prakash, who had passed out at the Dahal residence in Lazimpat, was declared dead on arrival by the doctors at Norvic International Hospital where he was brought at 5:50 Sunday morning.
“His hands were cold, body stiff, pupils dilated and there was no pupillary light reflex when torchlight was shone at his eyes,” cardiologist at the hospital Dr JP Jaiswal told media persons. “His electrocardiogram returned a flatline and we declared him dead on arrival at around 6 in the morning,” he added.
“He may have suffered a sudden cardiac death due to sudden cardiac arrest. His body was allright and he didn’t seem to have taken any substance,” he revealed.
Pushpa Kamal Dahal has reached Kathmandu from Jhapa, where he was campaigning, with five family members including daughter and son-in-law.
Prakash’s body has been kept at the party office of CPN (Maoist Center) in Paris Danda for last respects. He will be cremated at the Pashupati Aryaghat later Sunday.
The only son of Pushpa Kamal Dahal had been working in his father's secretariat. He is survived by his two wives and two sons.
