Former Panamanian Dictator Manuel Noriega has died.
His death was confirmed by a source close to the family early Tuesday morning.
Noriega was ousted as Panama’s dictator by an American invasion in 1989.
He later served a 17-year drug sentence in the United States.
Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela says his passing closes a chapter in the country’s history,
Noriega was placed in a medically induced coma back in March after suffering severe brain hemorrhaging during surgery to remove a brain tumor.
He died Monday at age 83.
