Kathmandu (dpa) - Nepal's former crown prince Paras Shah has suffered a heart attack, local media reported late Tuesday.
The 41-year-old Paras was admitted in serious condition to Samitivej Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, according to Kantipur Television.
Paras, known for his playboy lifestyle, has always been at the centre of controversy.
In December he made headlines after he was arrested on charges of drug possession and later for smashing property at a luxury apartment in Bangkok, where he is resident.
Paras became the heir to the throne after his cousin Dipendra Shah allegedly shot dead nine members of his family members in the infamous "royal family massacre" in 2001. But he lost the position when the monarchy was disestablished through a popular movement in 2008.
