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.

Immediate cause? The man was 100yo. Even without other circumstance that is cause.

Whatever the success of his presidency, he’s another one who gave a damn, unlike what we’re heading into in the next 3 weeks.

He's the last one who gave a damn.
