Dipendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev (27 June 1971 – 4 June 2001), was the King of Nepal for three days, from 1 June 2001 to 4 June 2001. For the duration of his brief reign, he was in a coma after being fatally shot along with his parents King Birendra and Queen Aishwarya, other members of the royal family, in an event known as the Nepalese royal massacre. Crown Prince Dipendra was named as the perpetrator by the official investigation, although the lack of a trial and unanswered questions about the incident have led to ongoing speculation. Upon Dipendra's death, his paternal uncle Gyanendra succeeded as king for his second reign.
