President of the United States of America from 1977 to 1981 and 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100.
How writes The Washington Post, he died at his home in Plains, Georgia, his son James E. Carter III. The ex-president was 100 years old, the oldest US president of all time.
His son did not give an immediate cause of death. In a statement made in February 2023, the Carter Center said that the former president, after a series of hospitalizations, would stop further treatment and spend the remainder of his time at home under hospice care. In recent years, he had been treated for an aggressive form of melanoma skin cancer that had metastasized to his liver and brain.
Carter's wife Rosalyn died on November 19, 2023 at the age of 96. The Carters were married for more than 77 years, making it the longest presidential marriage in US history. His last public appearance was at her funeral in the Plains, where he sat in the front row in a wheelchair.
Carter was last photographed outside his home with family and friends watching an air show on Oct. 1 to mark his 100th birthday. Most recently, he voted in the presidential election, which Kamala Harris laughed at. Many considered her jokes inappropriate.
US President Joe Biden declared January 9, 2025 a day of national mourning in the United States.
