N. T. Rama Rao - Death

Death

NTR died of a massive heart attack in the early hours of 18 January 1996 at Hyderabad, just a few months after he was ousted from power. At the time of his death he was 72 years old. He was cremated by his eldest surviving son, Nandamuri Jayakrishna. However, his ashes were immersed at Srirangapatna by his second wife Lakshmi Parvathi only eight years later, in 2004, after Chandrababu Naidu was ousted from power in the assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh held that year.

Famous quotes containing the word death:

    For ‘tis not in mere death that men die most.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    Oh! death will find me long before I tire
    Of watching you.
    Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)

    Water, earth, air, fire, and the other parts of this structure of mine are no more instruments of your life than instruments of your death. Why do you fear your last day? It contributes no more to your death than each of the others. The last step does not cause the fatigue, but reveals it. All days travel toward death, the last one reaches it.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
