early in the morning. So at the age of 10 he started to distribute

On 27 July 2015, Kalam travelled to Shillong to deliver a lecture on "Creating a
Livable Planet Earth" at the Indian Institute of Management Shillong. At around
6:35 p.m. IST, only five minutes into his lecture, he collapsed. He was rushed to the
nearby Bethany Hospital in a critical condition; upon arrival, he lacked a pulse or
any other signs of life. Despite being placed in the intensive care unit, Kalam was
confirmed dead of a sudden cardiac arrest at 7:45 p.m. IST. His last words, to his
aide Srijan Pal Singh, were reportedly: "Funny guy! Are you doing well?"
