S. M. Seenivel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

S. M. Seenivel (died 25 May 2016) was an Indian politician of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) party. He was elected as a member of the 15th Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly from the Thiruparankundram constituency in 2016,[1] having previously been elected to the 13th Assembly from the same constituency in 2001.[2]

Seenivel suffered a stroke on 18 May 2016, one day before the election results were announced. He died in hospital at Madurai, aged 65, on 25 May 2016, a few hours before he was due to be sworn-in as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA).[1] Five years earlier, another AIADMK MLA, M. Mariam Pichai, had also died on oath-taking day prior to being sworn-in.[3]

Seenivel was survived by his wife, three daughters and a son.[1]
