A police officer confirmed to NDTV that the 76-year-old leader died at a private hospital in Coimbatore around 5 am.
According to reports, Ganeshamoorthy, who was elected on a DMK ticket in the 2019 from Erode, was admitted to a private hospital in Erode after he developed uneasiness and vomited on March 24. He was later shifted to a private hospital in Coimbatore and put on ECHO support.
