06 Jun, 2004

Former US President Ronald Reagan, who forged a conservative revolution that transformed American politics, died on Saturday after a decade-long battle with Alzheimer's disease, sources close to the Reagan family said. He was 93.
His wife, Nancy, and family members had gathered at his bedside at his house in the Bel Air district of Los Angeles.
Earlier, the sources said Reagan's condition had worsened in the past week. "The time is getting close," he said, but added: "It is not like it is going to be tomorrow."
