Former senator and vice-presidential candidate Joe Lieberman has died.

On Wednesday, his family put out a statement. They announced that he passed away from complications after a bad fall.

He passed away “due to complications from a fall. He was 82 years old. His beloved wife, Hadassah, and members of his family were with him as he passed,” his family stated.

Lieberman had a 24-year career in the Senate. Halfway through it, he was selected by former Vice President Al Gore to be his running mate for the 2000 presidential election. However, the ticket lost to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
