He was admitted to Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital in the first week of August 2012, where he was diagnosed with both liver and kidney failure. He was flown to Chennai for a liver transplant by air ambulance on 6th August 2012. When Deshmukh was flown to Chennai for a liver transplant, doctors initially thought they should convince one of his blood relatives to donate a part of his liver, or put him on the waitlist for a cadaver transplant. However, when they found he was suffering not only from kidney failure but a severe bacterial blood infection as well, they concluded a transplant was not the immediate option and decided to wait till his condition stabilized first. "In the ICU, we give each of the vital organs (heart, brain, lung, kidney and liver) 20 points. If three of his organs aren't stable, the patient loses 60 points. That is why his condition is considered critical," said a doctor in the ICU. "But the minister is alert and conscious, indicating good brain function. His heart is also pumping normally." The pressing concern is the blood bacterial infection, which is causing serious damage to his organs. "Our first priority is to bring the infection under control or it could damage healthy organs and his condition could deteriorate further," a doctor said. "We have given him some antibiotics as he has a blood infection. We don't know what exactly the infection is but samples have been sent for tests and will arrive late on Wednesday," the doctor said. Deshmukh has been administered broad spectrum antibiotics that will cover his bacterial infection, but doctors will make the treatment more specific after receiving results of blood tests. Once the blood infection has been treated, Deshmukh will slowly be taken off life support, including ventilator and dialysis. "It's too early to discuss a transplant. But that could be an option if he responds to treatment for the blood infection," said a liver transplant surgeon from Mumbai. But he said doctors may have to use radiation therapy to shrink the size of the cancerous tumour. "He has a very large tumour that cannot be removed easily," he added. Deshmukh's doctor, transplant surgeon Dr Mohamed Rela, could not be contacted. The minister's family, including wife Vaishali, actor-son Riteish and daughter-in-law Genelia were at the hospital. Union minister of state for coal Pratik Patil visited the hospital in the evening and was briefed about Deshmukh's health.And doctors couldn't save his life & he left this world on 14 august 2012<ref>http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Vilasrao-Deshmukh-still-critical-no-liver-transplant/articleshow/15395714.cms</ref> ==Notes== <references/> {{s-start}} {{succession box| before=[[Narayan Rane]]| title=[[Chief Minister of Maharashtra]]| years=18 October 1999 - 16 January 2003| after=[[Sushilkumar Shinde]] }} {{succession box | before = [[Sushilkumar Shinde]] | | title = [[Chief Minister of Maharashtra]] | | years = 1 November 2004 - 4 December 2008 | | after = [[Ashok Chavan]] | }} {{succession box | before = [[Santosh Mohan Dev]] | title = [[Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises (India)|Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises]] | years = 28 May 2009 - 19 January 2011 | after = [[Praful Patel]] }} {{succession box | before = [[C.
