apj abdul kalam salam apj abdulkalam death

On the evening of 27 July 2015, Kalam collapsed at around 6:30 p.m. while delivering a lecture on "The Livable Planet Earth" at the Indian Institute of Management Shillong. He was rushed to Bethania Hospital in a critical condition and was placed in the Intensive Care Unit but was confirmed dead of a massive cardiac arrest more than two hours later. Kalam would have turned 84 in October 2015.
                       Following his death, Kalam's body was airlifted from Shillong to Guwahati in an Indian Air Force helicopter, from where it was flown to New Delhi on the morning of 28 July in an air force C-130 Hercules. The flight landed at Palam Air Base at 12:15 p.m, and was received by the President, the Prime Minister, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and the three service chiefs of the Indian Armed Forces.
                 
The Government of India declared a seven-day state mourning period as a mark of respect to the former President. President Pranab Mukherjee, Vice-President Hamid Ansari, Home Minister Rajnath Singh and other leaders condoled the former President's demise. Prime Minster Narendra Modi said "his [Kalam's] death is a great loss to the scientific community. He took India to great heights. He showed the way."
