News_Editor Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 RAMAT GAN, ISRAEL (BNO NEWS) -- Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, considered by many as having been one of Israel's finest military commanders, died on Saturday, more than eight years after a massive stroke and brain hemorrhage left him in a permanent vegetative state. He was 85. Sharon died late Saturday morning at Chaim Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv after his condition sharply deteriorated in recent days, caused by the failure of several key organs that included his kidney and a blood infection. Hospital officials called a news conference for 3 p.m. local time. (Copyright 2014 by BNO News B.V. All rights reserved. Info: [email protected].)
