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.
