Hockey legend Balbir Sr in semi-comatose condition: grandson

Hockey legend Balbir Singh Sr is in a semi-comatose state and has developed a blood clot in his brain, his maternal grandson Kabir said on Monday as the three-time Olympic gold-medallist battled multiple health complications at a hospital here.

In a statement, Kabir said his 95-year-old maternal grandfather hasn't, however, suffered any cardiac event since last week.

"Hemodynamically near stable but condition is critical. No further cardiac events since last update," Kabir said.

"MRI brain report shows a small fresh blood clot in the brain which is insufficient to explain continued unconsciousness. He is currently in semi-comatose condition."
