Former Democratic Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman has died at age 82.

Lieberman was also the running mate for Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore, making him the first Jewish nominee. He went on to play a key role in the centrist No Labels third-party movement.

His family announced in a statement that the cause of his death was due to complications resulting from a fall.

“Former United States Senator Joseph I. Lieberman died this afternoon, March 27, 2024, in New York City due to complications from a fall. He was 82 years old,” the statement reads. “His beloved wife, Hadassah, and members of his family were with him as he passed. Senator Lieberman’s love of God, his family, and America endured throughout his life of service in the public interest.”
