Jimmy Carter, the longest-lived American president, passed away peacefully at his home in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by family, at the age of 100. His son Chip confirmed the time of death as 3:45 p.m. After years of declining health, Carter opted for hospice care since February 2023, choosing to spend his remaining time at home rather than pursue further medical treatments.
Carter, who served as the 39th president from 1977 to 1981, was a transformative figure who, after losing his re-election bid to Ronald Reagan in 1980, dedicated his life to global advocacy. He founded The Carter Center to improve democracy, public health, and human rights, ultimately winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his humanitarian efforts.
