WASHINGTON: Former president George Herbert Walker Bush has died at age 94.
His death was announced by his family Friday night on Twitter.
The president’s health had been in decline in recent months.
“George Herbert Walker Bush, World War 2 naval aviator, Texas oil pioneer, and 41st president of the United States of America, died on Nov 30, 2018.
“He was 94 and is survived by his five children and their spouses, 17 grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and two siblings,” the former president’s office said in a statement.
“He was preceded in death by his wife of 73 years, Barbara; his second child Pauline Robin Bush; and his brothers Prescott and William or Bucky Bush.”
His son, George W Bush, who served as the country’s 43rd president, also announced the death in another statement.
News reports said Bush was admitted to Houston Methodist Hospital with a blood infection on April 22, two days after the funeral for his wife of 73 years, former first lady Barbara Bush.
He is survived by his five children, including former president George W Bush and former Florida governor Jeb Bush. -FMT
