On Thursday afternoon, the hospital had announced a "slight decline" in his health due to age-related ailments and that he was treated for fever due to urinary tract infection with intravenous antibiotics and fluids. He had been provided with hospital-level care at his home.
Karunanidhi has been suffering from ailments since October 2016. On December 1, 2016, he was admitted to a hospital after he complained of difficulty in breathing due to a throat and lung infection. He had undergone a tracheotomy to optimise his breathing.
He has been using a wheelchair to move around for the past few years.
