His family immediately called the Ambulance, but were later informed by the medics that he had passed away.

A 47-year-old AIADMK worker, who was besides himself over the rumours about Jayalalithaa’s health, had died of heart attack in Coimbatore on October 6.

Meanwhile, with Chief Minister Jayalalithaa critical after she suffered a cardiac arrest on Sunday evening, the state government has sought the help of the paramilitary forces to handle the crowd in case of an emergency.

Security has been stepped up across the city to deal with any eventuality and buses plying out of Chennai have been reduced and security in the capital has been tightened. ANI
