WASHINGTON - Former US president George H.W. Bush has died Friday at the age of 94, according to a statement from his office.

Family spokesman Jim McGrath says Bush died shortly after 10 pm Friday, about eight months after the death of his wife, Barbara Bush.

The nation's 41st president served from 1989 to 1993, and eight years later watched his son George W. became the 43rd president.
