Carter, a tenacious Southerner who improbably rose to the nation’s highest office, served a single term with the Iranian hostage crisis hanging over part of his administration. He later won the Nobel Peace Prize for his pursuit of peace and human rights.

Jimmy Carter, a no-frills and steel-willed Southern governor who was elected president in 1976, was rejected by disillusioned voters after a single term and went on to an extraordinary postpresidential life that included winning the Nobel Peace Prize, died Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia, according to his son James E. Carter III, known as Chip. He was 100 and the oldest living U.S. president of all time.

A cause of death was not immediately provided. In a statement in February 2023, the Carter Center said the former president, after several 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.
