Former U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, who served 30 years in Congress, died on 4th July at 1:15 a.m.

Helms’ former chief of staff, Jimmy Broughton says the former senator, age 86, died of natural causes in Raleigh. “He was very comfortable,” Broughton said.

“America lost a great public servant and true patriot today,” White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said.

President Bush said at the time the Senate was “losing an institution. Sen. Helms has been a tireless defender of our nation’s freedom and a champion of democracy abroad.”
