Former Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee passed away at a private hospital on Monday morning following multiple organ failure. He was 89 years old.

Chatterjee passed away at around 8:15 am after his condition deteriorated following Sunday's "mild heart attack", said a hospital official from Belle Vue Clinic hospital where the former CPI(M) leader was undergoing treatment.

 
He was suffering from a kidney-related ailment and was admitted to the hospital in a critical condition on Tuesday last. He was in the ICCU and had been put on ventilator. Last month, the former speaker had suffered a haemorrhagic stroke.
 
A 10-time Lok Sabha MP, Chatterjee was a central committee member of the CPI(M), which he had joined in 1968. He was the Speaker of the Lok Sabha from 2004 to 2009
