Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, passed away on Sunday while receiving hospice care. He was 100 years old.
Multiple U.S. media outlets, including CNN, reported his death, citing the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC).
Born on October 1, 1924, Carter had suffered from numerous health issues throughout his life, including a battle with cancer. In February, he announced his decision to discontinue life-sustaining treatment and began receiving hospice palliative care at home.
Although Carter faced significant domestic and international challenges during his presidency and failed to secure re-election, he earned a reputation as “the greatest former U.S. president” for his work as a global peacemaker after leaving office. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and maintained a long-standing connection with the Korean Peninsula.
