Jimmy Carter is the oldest living former US president. In recent years he has been facing serious health problems. In 2015, he revealed that he had been treated for melanoma, which had metastasized to his liver and brain.
The Carter Center had announced in February that the former US president would receive medical care at home so that he could spend the rest of his life near his family.
