The news of his demise was made public at 6:41 pm.
The state has announced a 7 day mourning period and has announced that all schools and colleges will remain closed tomorrow.
All the programmes or events scheduled for tomorrow at schools and colleges will be postponed and a new date will be released later.
Fondly called, 'Kalaignar', like MG Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa, Mr Karunanidhi quit a flourishing career in movies to devote himself to politics and the Dravidian movement led by Periyar EVR -- which he joined soon after it started in 1949.
In 1969, Mr Karunanidhi became the Chief Minister after DMK ideologue CN Annadurai died in office.
