Former US President George W Bush has died at the age of 94, a family spokesperson has announced.
Bush Senior died on Friday, about eight months after the death of his wife, Barbara Bush.
“Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died,” his son, former president George W Bush, said in a statement released on Twitter.
The 41st president on the United States, Bush served from 1989 to 1993, with the successful campaign to drive Saddam Hussein from Kuwait his most significant accomplishment.
He served as Ronald Reagan’s vice president for eight years, before he entered the white house in 1989 after a savagely negative campaign.
He lost the 1992 election amid criticism of his handling of domestic affairs.
