Former President Jimmy Carter has died; he was 100 years old.

According to a NewYork Post report, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter died on Sunday in Plains, GA — the town where he was born — after spending nearly two years in hospice care.

The Carter Center confirmed his death Sunday with a simple statement: “Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia.”

From The New York Post:

Carter’s grandson, Jason, previously said the former commander-in-chief was “experiencing the world as best he can” but was not awake every day in an update weeks before his death.

Still, he said they were able to talk and watch an Atlanta Braves game recently.

“I told him, I said: ‘Pawpaw, you know, when people ask me how you’re doing I say, ‘honestly I don’t know,’” Jason, 48, recalled to Southern Living.

“And he kind of smiled and he said, ‘I don’t know, myself.’

“It was pretty sweet,” Jason added.

Carter was sworn in on Jan. 20, 1977, after defeating Republican Gerald Ford, whose campaign was burdened by the political baggage he carried from his decision to pardon disgraced President Richard Nixon following the Watergate scandal.

He served only one tumultuous four-year term before being swept aside by Ronald Reagan — but in that time he racked up triumphs such as the historic Camp David peace accords, in which Israel and Egypt officially recognized each other’s governments.
