Dipendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev (Nepali: दीपेन्द्र वीर विक्रम शाह देव) (27 June 1971 – 4 June 2001) was 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 he had reportedly shot his father, King Birendra, his mother, Queen Aishwarya, his younger brother and sister, five other members of the royal family and himself on 1 June.[1][2] Upon Dipendra's death, his paternal uncle Gyanendra became king.
