Former US President Jimmy Carter, who rose from an obscure peanut farm in his native Georgia to the highest office in the country, has died.
He died at the age of 100. Carter served as the 39th president from 1977 to 1981 and lived longer than any other president after leaving the White House.
He was defeated in his re-election bid by Ronald Reagan. Since leaving the White House, he has remained active, doing humanitarian work with its Carter Center in recent years.
In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work.
