Ex-Israel PM Sharon dead

JERUSALEM (AFP) – Former Israeli premier Ariel Sharon
died at a hospital near Tel Aviv on Saturday, aged of 85, after
spending eight years in a coma, Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu's office said.

There was no immediate confirmation from Sheba hospital,
where he was being treated, but a spokesman said a statement
would be given at 3:00 pm (1300 GMT).

Sharon has been in a coma since January 4, 2006 after
suffering a massive stroke. His condition took a sudden turn
for the worse on January 1 when he suffered serious kidney
problems after surgery.
