A Polish mayor who was left fighting for his life after he was stabbed on stage during a charity event has died of stab wounds.
Pawel Adamowicz, the mayor of the Polish city of Gdansk, died after being stabbed onstage at a Polish charity event, Poland's health minister said today.
He grabbed his belly and collapsed in front of the audience after he was attacked with a sharp tool last night.
The attacker reportedly shouted from the stage that he had been wrongly imprisoned when the mayor's former party was in power.
'That's why Adamowicz dies,' the attacker said.
Poland's president said he had initially been told 'there is hope' for the mayor's survival after doctors reanimated his heart, but said his condition was 'very difficult'.
'Despite all our efforts, we failed to save him,' Doctor Tomasz Stefaniak, director of Gdansk's University hospital said, quoted by the Polish PAP news agency.

Anti-violence rallies are being planned nationwide after Sunday's shock attack on Mayor Pawel Adamowicz.
Lukasz Szumowski told local press, according to private broadcaster TVN: 'We couldn't win.'
Interior minister Joachim Brudzinski said Mr Adamowicz was in a very serious condition, calling the stabbing 'an act of inexplicable barbarity'.
Gdansk Archbishop Slawoj Leszek Glod went to the hospital while the operation was underway, Polish media reported.
Medical officials appealed for blood donations as Mr Adamowicz was taken to a hospital where he underwent surgery.
A Polish broadcaster said a man had rushed on stage at around 8pm and said the mayor was seen holding his belly.
Radio Gdansk reported that Mr Adamowicz was stabbed near his heart as the attacker shouted from the stage.

A Gdansk police spokesman said the attacker, who was detained by police, was a 27-year-old who lived in the city.
Adamowicz later underwent surgery, deputy mayor Piotry Grzelak was quoted as saying by the PAP news agency.
Earlier he boasted on Facebook that he hadd raised £5,000 for the event.
'Thank you sincerely everyone who threw money into my can and helped beat my personal record,' Mr Adamowicz wrote.
Mr Adamowicz has been mayor of Gdansk, a port city on the Baltic coast, since 1998.
He was part of the democratic opposition born in the city under the leadership of Lech Walesa during the 1980s which helped to bring down the Communist regime.
As mayor, he is seen as a progressive voice and has supported LGBT rights and tolerance for minorities.

He showed solidarity with the Jewish community when the city's synagogue had its windows broken last year, strongly denouncing the vandalism.
European Council President Donald Tusk, a former Polish prime minister, wrote on Twitter: 'Let's all pray for Mayor Adamowicz. Pawel, we are with you.'
President Andrzej Duda said yesterday that while he and the mayor have had political differences, 'today I am unconditionally with him and his loved ones, just as - I hope - all of us compatriots are. I pray for his return to health and full strength'.
The fundraising event was organised by the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, Poland's most important charity.
It raises money for medical equipment Poland's cash-strapped health care system has trouble providing.

He gr...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
