Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter died Sunday at the age of 100 in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, according to the Carter Center, the nonprofit he and his wife Rosalynn Carter founded.
The longest-lived American president endured recent battles with health issues and treatment for cancer in 2015 before entering home hospice care in February 2023. His death follows the passing of Rosalynn, the former first lady and his wife of more than 77 years, on Nov. 19, 2023, at the age of 96 and shortly after she was diagnosed with dementia.
