Burundi President Pierre Nkurunziza dies of 'cardiac arrest' at 55.




The president of Burundi, whose third-term bid incited a failed coup and drove thousands from the eastern African country in 2015, died from cardiac arrest on Monday at age 55, his government announced.

President Pierre Nkurunziza attended a volleyball match Saturday before reportedly falling ill later that night, government officials said, according to Al Jazeera. He was rushed to a hospital in Karuzi, eastern Burundi, where he began to recuperate Sunday enough to speak with visitors.
By Monday, though, he fell into cardiac arrest and a doctor’s immediate attempt to resuscitate him was unsuccessful.

The Burundi Government said the country will enter a seven-day period of mourning starting Tuesday.
