His son confirmed the death but did not provide an immediate cause. In a statement in February 2023, the Carter Center said the former president, after a series of hospital stays, would stop further medical treatment and spend his remaining time at home under hospice care. He had been treated in recent years for an aggressive form of melanoma skin cancer, with tumors that spread to his liver and brain.

The age of being able to quote a US President to actually say something meaningful, intelligent and insightful is over.

From a Canadian that appreciates President Carter, a significant world leader ... RIP President Carter
