Renowned mathematician Vashishtha&nbsp;Narayan Singh died at the&nbsp;Patna Medical College and Hospital&nbsp;on Thursday after a prolonged illness. He was 74. But Singh's&nbsp;death&nbsp;has made headlines for the wrong reasons. According to his brother,&nbsp;the premier government hospital in an utter show of&nbsp;callousness allegedly denied him an ambulance to take the body home.&nbsp;According to reports, Singh's younger brother waited for a private ambulance while Singh's&nbsp;body was&nbsp;on a stretcher outside the&nbsp;emergency ward. The Health department, however, has denied the incident saying that the delay was over if a post mortem&nbsp;should be conducted as Singh&nbsp;was brought dead to the hospital. The state has now announced that the mathematician, who once worked at NASA&nbsp;and California University, will be&nbsp;cremated with full state honour.
