Chennai: MDMK MP from Tamil Nadu’s Erode constituency, A. Ganeshamurthi died in a private hospital in Coimbatore early Thursday morning.
Ganeshamurthi (76) was upset over being denied a ticket to contest in the Lok Sabha polls. He reportedly attempted suicide by consuming poison on Sunday.
Initially, he was rushed to a local hospital in Erode but as his condition deteriorated, he shifted to a private hospital in Coimbatore.
According to his relatives, Ganeshamurthi had consumed insecticide on Sunday, which led to his hospitalisation and subsequent death.
