Earlier it was reported that Riteish Deshmukh 's father (present Union Minister and the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra) was sick and fighting with liver cirrhosis disease (which was later diagnosed as liver cancer). Even his both kidneys had malfunctioned and were not working. Ritesih was even ready to donate a part of liver to his ailing father but due to some complications he was flown by air ambulance from Mumbai Breach Candy Hospital to Chennai's Global Hospital last week for a liver transplant.

Initially no donor was available but finally they had found a donor in a government hospital who was declared brain dead. Preparations were going to transplant liver from that patient. But before the donor could be operated on Tuesday night, Mr. Vilasrao Deshmukh passed away today afternoon at 1.40pm (at the age of 67) in Chennai hospital. His body would be taken to his village Latur. His last rites would be performed at Babhalgaon tomorrow a 4 pm.
