He was 80 years old.

One of his aides, who confirmed the painful development to Vanguard, said he would want the family to formally break the news to the media.
“He passed on this night. I would want the family to break the news formally to the media.
“I am his aide but at this moment I am not to speak on this until the family issues a statement,” he said.
