Reports from the media outlets indicate that President Sata died on Tuesday evening at London’s King Edward VII hospital. According to Reuters news agency, a government source has also confirmed the death.
“It is true. We lost the President. The acting president will make a statement soon,”said the source.
Sata had flown out earlier in the month for a medical check-up.
There has been worry over the leader’s health since June when he disappeared from the public eye.
