Eight of the victims, including the King, were declared dead on arrival at the Royal Nepal Army Hospital. Five of the six wounded were listed in critical condition. But Shruti had been prophetic when she had admonished Dipendra. The next morning, in a coma and sustained by life-support systems and respirators, the Prince who killed the King was enthroned as King. The Privy Council...
