New Delhi: Legendary Indian athlete Milkha Singh passed away last night in a Chandigarh Hospital following brief illness. Singh was 91 and his death comes just five days after his wife Nirmal Kaur passed away.
He is survived by three daughters — Dr. Mona Singh, Aleeza Grover, Sonia Sanwalka — and son Jeev Milkha, who is an ace golfer. A former Commonwealth Games gold medallist, Singh was admitted to the ICU at the Hospital of Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh due to dipping oxygen levels on June 3, just 4 days after being discharged from a Mohali Hospital.
