Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon dies

[Natalka]

After being eight years in a coma, Ariel Sharon died Saturday at the age of 85.
Sharon's career ended in January 2006 when he suffered a debilitating stroke, his second in under a month. Since then, he had been in a coma on life support systems.

Sharon will be laid in state at the Knesset Sunday from noon to 6 p.m., during which the public is invited to pay their respects to Israel's 11th premier.
A memorial service will be held in the Knesset Monday at 10 a.m. followed by a funeral at 2:30 p.m. on his Negev ranch, where he will be laid to rest beside his wife Lily, who died in 2000.

Interesting, from people who are much smarter than me.
