Mysore scion Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wodeyar, 60, died Tuesday following a cardiac arrest in a private hospital here, a hospital official said.
"Wodeyar was declared dead around 3.30 p.m. after our doctors failed to revive his heart which suffered a cardiac arrest," Vikram hospital in-charge K. Madan Kumar told IANS.
Wodeyar, who was staying in his palatial Bangalore Palace in the city centre with his two sisters and other family members, was brought to the hospital around 2 p.m. in an unconscious state.
"As Wodeyar's heart was not beating, we did a cardio-pulmonary resuscitation to revive it but could not. He was admitted into the cardio care unit and put on ventilator to make his heart beat. When all efforts to revive him failed, our chief cardiologist Ranganath Nayak declared him dead," Kumar said.
