Former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic has been found dead in his cell
at the United Nations war crimes tribunal at The Hague.
An official in the chief prosecutor's office said Milosevic was found
lifeless on his bed around 10 a.m. on Saturday. He apparently had been dead
for several hours, the official said.
The tribunal did not say how Milosevic, 64, had died. French Foreign
Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy told reporters Milosevic had died of natural
causes. An autopsy is planned, along with an inquiry into the death.
Since February 2002, Milosevic had been on trial for war crimes on charges
of genocide and crimes against humanity during the violent breakup of
Yugoslavia in the 1990s.
He suffered a heart condition and high blood pressure, which had repeatedly
interrupted his trial. The hearings were entering the final phase, with
arguments expected to wrap up within a few months.
Milosevic led Serbia, the dominant Yugoslav republic, into four Balkan wars,
including the 1992-95 Bosnia war, in which 200,000 people died.
