Former President Jimmy Carter has died at age 100.
Carter served as the 39th president of the United States and 76th governor of Georgia and won a Nobel Prize for his work as a global humanitarian dedicated to waging peace and fighting disease.
He was the longest-lived U.S. president, as well as the one with the longest post-presidency.
Carter died at home this afternoon in Plains, Ga., surrounded by family, The Carter Center, The Atlanta Journal Constitution and The Washington Post reported. He was preceded in death by his wife and former first lady Rosalynn Carter, who died in 2023.
On Feb. 18, 2023, the Carter Center released a statement that said Carter had begun receiving hospice care and was no longer seeking medical interventions.
Known for his wide smile and soft-spoken Southern cadence, Carter was a lover of music and poetry, a caring husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, an author, a painter, a woodworker and an unprecedented conservationist.
