Former Peruvian President Alan García was reported to have died on Wednesday after shooting himself in the head minutes before a warrant for his arrest was to be executed. Alan Gabriel Ludwig García Pérez, 69, was president of Peru from 1985 to 1990 and from 2006 to 2011. He also served in Congress.
Peruvian Vice President Omar Chehade has resigned over corruption allegations but lawmakers expect him to try to hang onto his seat in Congress, where he could face an expulsion vote later this week.
