Dipendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev (Nepali: दीपेन्द्र वीर विक्रम शाह देव) (27 June 1971 – 4 June 2001) was the eleventh King of Nepal for three days from 1 to 4 June 2001. For the duration of his three-day reign he was in a coma after shooting his father King Birendra, his mother Queen Aishwarya, his younger brother and sister, five other members of the royal family, and himself in an event known as the Nepalese royal massacre.[1][2] Upon Dipendra's death, his paternal uncle Gyanendra became king.
