Jimmy Carter, the oldest living president of the United States, has died at the age of 100.
Carter, who was president between 1977 and 1981, died on Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia, according to The Carter Center.
No cause of death was immediately given, although Carter had spent almost two years under hospice care at his home after being treated for a form of skin cancer. He celebrated his 100th birthday at his home in October.
Rosalynn Carter, Jimmy Carter’s wife of 76 years, died in November 2023.
Despite serving only one term, the former peanut farmer from Georgia left a lasting legacy during his post-presidential career. This included winning the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2002 for The Carter Center’s work in fighting the Guinea worm disease in Africa and tracking elections across the world.
He also continued to volunteer with the Habitat for Humanity home-building organization late into his life, burnishing a reputation for community service and humility that earned him plaudits from across the political aisle.
