Former United States President George H.W. Bush has died at the age of 93. The former president appeared on TV earlier today shaking hands with several dignitaries before he was rushed to hospital where he died.
Bush dies few days after his wife Barbara Bush passed on. The two have been sick and missed several public events including the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
George H.W. Bush served as the 41st President of the United States from 1989 to 1993. Prior to assuming the presidency, Bush served as the 43rd Vice President of the United States from 1981 to 1989.
Former first lady Barbara Bush died earlier this week after deciding to stop treatment for her declining health. According to USA Today, her husband, former President George H.W. Bush, held her hands for hours the day that she died. And that kind of connection has made their love story one for the ages.
The couple, who were together for over seven decades, shared some of the letters that they wrote during the earlier days of their relationship on the Today show in 2011 with their granddaughter, Today show correspondent Jenna Bush Hager.
