Eden dies in sleep after long illness at Avon
Former Prime Minister Anthony Eden died at 79 in his country home after a prolonged illness. He had been in frail health following liver failure and cancer reports, and was flown home from Florida when death neared. Eden, Earl of Avon, served as foreign minister and prime minister, surviving World War I service, and his death ends a lengthy public career marked by Suez War fallout.
