In a message shared on Musharraf's official Twitter handle, the family said he had been hospitalised for the last three weeks due to a complication of his ailment (Amyloidosis) and was going through a difficult state where recovery was not possible. Appealing for prayers for ease in his daily living, the family said his organs were also malfunctioning.

“Message from Family: He is not on the ventilator. Has been hospitalized for the last 3 weeks due to a complication of his ailment (Amyloidosis). Going through a difficult stage where recovery is not possible and organs are malfunctioning. Pray for ease in his daily living.”

Musharraf was the first former military ruler to have been tried and convicted for treason. In 2020, he had been sentenced to death for high treason by a special court.

Musharraf had left Pakistan soon after he had stepped down as President in 2008.
