Munde was admitted to the AIIMS trauma centre after he met with a road accident on way to the Delhi airport.According to doctors, Munde was sitting on the back side of his Maruti SX4 car when the accident took place. A speeding Indica jumped a traffic signal and dashed into Munde’s car from the side at around 6.20 am. When Munde was brought to the hospital, there was no spontaneous breathing, no pulse, bilateral pupils dilated and no cardiac activity. A doctor said that CPR was immediately started and continued for about 50 minutes but he could not be revived. He said that Munde breathed his last at 7.20 am. Though the doctor did not confirm a cardiac arrest, he said that the death could have been caused due to a cardiac condition.The doctor said, “Munde was hypertensive and a sugar patient. He was already taking medicines. Right now there are no major external injuries on his body. We cannot say anything but clinically we might say that he had a sudden cardiac death”.The body has been shifted to the mortuary for postmortem. A board has been formulated by the head of forensics to conduct the postmortem.As it is a medico-legal cause the reason for the death can only be ascertained after postmortem, the doctor said.Munde’s secretary S Nair said the Union Minister received a huge shock after the accident and apparently suffered a massive heart attack.A Delhi Police official said that the driver of the car, which hit Munde’s car, is in their custody. The Delhi Police said that the driver was alone in the car, adding that a probe has been ordered.National flag will be flown at half mast in Delhi, state capitals and Union Territories today as a mark of respect to Munde.Earlier on Tuesday, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said that Munde met with the accident at around 6.30 am. Though there were no external injuries, Munde suffered internal injuries in the accident which led to his death.Terming Munde as a great leader, Gadkari said that this was a big loss for the Maharashtra leader’s family and the BJP. He said that Munde’s cremation would take place at his village in Latur, Maharashtra.Later, Union Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan said that Munde was brought to the hospital in a very critical cardiac condition. He said that the exact cause of death could be ascertained after post mortem. He said that there was just a small abrasion on Munde’s nose, but no external injuries.President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, among others, condoled the sudden death of the Union Minister.Reactions:to help us personalise your reading experience.Extremely saddened & shocked by the demise of my friend & colleague Gopinath Munde ji.
