Former US President Gerald Ford has died aged 93, former First Lady Betty Ford has said.
Last month Gerald Ford had become the longest-living US president when he passed 93 years and 121 days, the record held by Ronald Reagan.
Mr Ford, the only unelected president, took office after Richard Nixon quit over Watergate in 1974. But he lost to Jimmy Carter in the 1976 election. |
