On December 26, 2006, Gerald Ford, the 38th president of the United States,[1] died at his home in Rancho Mirage, California at 6:45 p.m. local time (02:45, December 27, UTC).[2][3] At 8:49 p.m. local time, his wife of 58 years, Betty Ford, issued a statement announcing his death.[3] The causes of death listed on the death certificate were arteriosclerotic cerebrovascular disease and diffuse arteriosclerosis.
At the age of 93 years and 165 days, Ford was the longest-lived U.S. president in history until George H. W. Bush lived to 94 years, and Jimmy Carter even longer.[3]
Ford was the second president to die during the presidency of George W. Bush and the second to die in the twenty-first century, the first being Ronald Reagan.
