King Bhumibol Adulyadej had been treated at Siriraj Hospital since 3 October 2014.[4] The king had a high fever due to a blood infection. His health improved after his doctor gave him antibiotics.[5] Until 28 September 2016, he had a low grade fever and pneumonitis. His doctor then treated him with antibiotics and hemodialysis owing to hypotension. His health later worsened due to a liver infection, and his condition remained unstable.[6]
The king died at the hospital on 13 October 2016 at 15:52 local time, as announced by the Bureau of the Royal Household later that day.[7][8]
