VOICE AIR MEDIA, VAM News Update

Former Senator Joe Lieberman has died, his family announced Wednesday.

He was 82 years old.

Lieberman died in New York City “due to complications from a fall,” his family said in a statement.

“His beloved wife, Hadassah, and members of his family were with him as he passed. Senator Lieberman’s love of God, his family, and America endured throughout his life of service in the public interest,” the statement read.

Lieberman, a prominent Jewish politician who represented Connecticut, was Al Gore’s running mate on the Democratic ticket in 2000.

A Democrat-turned-independent, Lieberman was the founding chair of the No Labels party.

A No Labels spokesperson confirmed Lieberman’s passing to ABC News.

Lieberman’s funeral will be held Friday at Congregation Agudath Sholom in his hometown of Stamford, his family said.
