Former Vice President Dick Cheney passed away late Monday at the age of 84. His family said in a statement, “His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him as he passed.”
Cheney’s death was attributed to complications from pneumonia, along with longstanding cardiac and vascular disease.
With his reputation as a war hawk, Cheney helped lead the push under President George W. Bush to invade Iraq based on intelligence later proven wrong that Saddam Hussein had amassed weapons of mass destruction.
