"Yes, he is no more. He suffered multiple organ failure this morning. It's a sad news," a source told news agencies.&nbsp;
The 56-year-old legend was admitted to Medanta - the Medicity earlier this month after a bout of jaundice and dengue made his condition worse. He was airlifted from Varanasi.
Known for his dribbling skills, Shahid is considered one of India's great hockey players.
He was a member of the V Baskaran-led Indian team that won a gold medal at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Mohammed Shahid was also a part of the national team that won a silver medal at the Delhi Asian Games in 1982 and bronze in the Seoul Asiad in 1986. - With inputs from agencies&nbsp;
