APJ was at the IIM Shillong in Meghalaya for a 2-day lecture PGP students. But, the 'Missile Man' as he is known as, collapsed just 15 minutes into the lecture, and was immediately rushed to the Bethany Hospital. However, he had already lost his life before reaching the hospital, and the attempts made to bring him back were not successful.
