Former US President Jimmy Carter passed away at the age of 100. He had been in hospice care for almost a year and a half. Carter is remembered for his humanitarian work and his time in office from 1977 to 1981.
Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, died at the age of 100 on Sunday, December 29, 2024. He had been living in hospice care at his home since February 2023. In May, Carter's son, Jason Carter, said in a speech at the Carter Center in Georgia that his grandfather was 'doing OK.' Jason Carter also praised the 'outpouring of love' the Carter family received since the passing of the former first lady Rosalynn Carter in November 2023.
'He has been in hospice … for almost a year and a half now, and he really is, I think, coming to the end,' Jason Carter said at the time. 'I’ve said before, there’s a part of this faith journey that is so important to him, and there’s a part of that faith journey that you only can live at the very end, and I think he has been there in that space,' the grandson also said. Carter had experienced multiple health issues in recent years. Following liver surgery to remove a mass in 2015, the former president was diagnosed with melanoma, which had spread to multiple areas of his brain, according to reports. After surgery and several months of treatment with radiation and immunotherapy, Carter’s cancer cleared. Carter had since experienced a bout of dehydration and several falls that led to a broken hip, pelvic fracture and other injuries, per reports. Carter’s wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter, also entered hospice in November 2023 alongside her husband. She died just a few days later at the age of 96. Some experts have praised the Carter family for sharing the details of the couple’s journey through aging, hospice care and death. 'It’s been massive to have the Carters be so public,' said Angela Novas, chief medical officer for the Hospice Foundation of America in Washington, D.C., according to an Associated Press report
