Ex-US president, Jimmy Carter dies at 100
The Democrat, who served as president from 1977 to 1981, passed on aged 100. The Carter Centre said the ex-president died on Sunday afternoon at his home in Plains, Georgia.
He is survived by four children, 11 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
Carter became the first ex-US president to reach 100 years on October 1, 2024.
He lost his re-election bid to Ronald Reagan in 1981 and left the White House with low approval ratings. He would go on to immerse himself in humanitarian work which earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
Rosalynn, Carter’s wife of 77 years, died in November 2023.
