Dick Cheney, former US vice president and architect of the Iraq war, dies

Dick Cheney, one of America's most influential and powerful vice presidents, passed away today at the age of 84.

The cause was complications from pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease, as confirmed by his family.

"His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him when he passed away. Dick Cheney was a wonderful and kind man who taught his children and grandchildren to love their country and live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness," the family said. 

Cheney was the 46th vice president, serving alongside Republican President George W. Bush for two terms between 2001 and 2009.

He became known as the chief architect of the war on terrorism during his time in the White House, due to his reputation for pushing forward many of Bush's initiatives and helping to strengthen the power of the presidency.

Cheney struggled with his health for years, having suffered five heart attacks from 1978 to 2010. /CNA
