Ajit Singh Gill Cause of death
Ajit Singh Gill died after battling end-stage renal failure on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, at the age of 95.
Ajit Singh Gill’s eldest son Dr. Mel Gill, who is a psychologist, said that his father fractured his hip last February after a fall but “healed sufficiently in three months”. However, his health deteriorated later on owing to renal failure.
He added: “I was with him in his final moments. He had difficulty breathing and stared at me, and I believe he wanted to tell me to take care of myself. That was how he was, always concerned about others’ welfare, and very generous in his giving without expecting anything in return.”
