An Indian man whose life support was removed after the Supreme Court accepted his parents' plea to do so has died.
Harish Rana's case is the first instance of court-approved passive euthanasia - the act of withdrawing or withholding life-sustaining treatment - in India.
Rana, 31, died on Tuesday at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (Aiims) hospital in Delhi, where he had been receiving palliative care after his life support was withdrawn.
Rana had been in a comatose state since 2013, when he suffered serious head injuries after falling from a fourth-floor balcony. He was an engineering student at the time.
Before his accident, Rana hadn't made a will specifying directives for his treatment if he lost his ability to make decisions.
