STORYLINE:
Supporters of Sushil Koirala gathered in Kathmandu on Tuesday to pay their respects to the former Nepalese prime minister.
Koirala's body will be kept at the party's headquarters in Kathmandu for his supporters to pay their respects.
His doctor, Karbir Nath Yogi, said the 78-year-old died due to complications from pneumonia and respiratory failure.
Koirala, who served as the 37th prime minister from February 2014 to October 2015, was a key figure in adoption of Nepal's new constitution last September.
Deputy Congress Leader, Sher Bahadur Deuba, called his death "a big loss for the entire nation".
Koirala spent his life in politics fighting for democracy in Nepal and led protests in 2006 that ended a centuries-old monarchy system and turned Nepal into a republic.
His politics meant he was always in trouble with the country's kings who had barred political parties since the 1960s, and he was jailed for at least six years.
He spent 15 years in exile in India because of his opposition to the party-less system imposed by the kings.
He never married and was living in his nephew's house in Kathmandu when he died on Tuesday.
