Former Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman has died, his family announced in a statement Wednesday. He was 82.
Lieberman died Wednesday afternoon in New York with his wife, Hadassah, and other loved ones at his side after he suffered complications from a fall, his family said in the statement.
"Senator Lieberman’s love of God, his family, and America endured throughout his life of service in the public interest," his family said.
Lieberman was the Democratic vice presidential nominee who ran with former Vice President Al Gore in the 2000 presidential election.
