This is big news at least in India saying this woman leader of the state of Tamil Nadu has passed away. The Tamils have often been in the news throughout the decades of rebelling against the Indian government.
She was a movie star, Bollywood star? Reading up, it sounds like she was brought up on corruption-like charges before and may have even been in jail.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, a popular leader who showered the poor with populist programmes and a pole in State politics for three decades, died last night at a private hospital after battling for life for the past 75 days.
A statement from Apollo Hospital, where she was receiving treatment stated:
“Our honourable Chief Minister Selvi J Jayalalithaa was admitted on 22.9.2016 with complaints of fever and dehydration and underlying co-morbidities. The honourable Chief Minister responded well to the multi-disciplinary care in the Critical Care Unit and subsequently recovered substantially to being able to take food orally. On this basis, honourable Chief Minister was shifted from the Advanced Critical Care Unit to the High Dependency Unit, where her health and vitals continued to improve under the close monitoring by our expert panel of specialists.”
Unfortunately, the hospital release said, the Chief Minister suffered a massive cardiac arrest on the evening of December 4 even while the intensivist was in her room. The Chief Minister was immediately administered rescusitation (CPR) and provided ECMO support within the hour.
