MUMBAI: Aruna Shanbaug, the
former KEM Hospital nurse who has
been lying in a vegetative state for
the past 40 years, passed away at
9.40am on Monday.
Doctors at KEM Hospital said that
she had been fighting pneumonia
for the last six days.
Shanbaug, 67, was taken to the
medical intensive care unit (MICU) of
the Parel hospital after she
developed breathing difficulty. A
pall of gloom descended on the
hospital as the news broke out.

A room outside the ward 4 had been
home to her since she was rendered
paralysed in 1973. Shanbaug was
brutally assaulted by sweeper
Sohanlal Bartha Valmiki. To pin her
down during the act, Valmiki used a
dog chain around her neck and
almost strangulated her, causing
serious damage to her brain cells
and reducing her to a vegetative
state. Since then, the hospital
nurses have taken it upon
themselves to attend to her every
need. They had also vehemently
fought for her right to live after a
euthanasia plea was filed in
Supreme Court.
