China's former Premier Li Keqiang has died at the age of 68, according to the Chinese state media reports, on Friday (Oct 27). The cause of his death is said to be a sudden heart attack.
"Comrade Li Keqiang, while resting in Shanghai in recent days, experienced a sudden heart attack on Oct. 26 and after all-out efforts to revive him failed, died in Shanghai at ten minutes past midnight on Oct. 27," said state broadcaster CCTV.
