Montserrat’s former Chief Minister John Alfred Osborne died in the United States Saturday night, official sources have confirmed. He was 74 years old.
The exact cause of death has not been disclosed but Osborne’s health had been failing for several months and his family decided to take him to the US for medical care.
Osborne served as Chief Minister from 1978-1991 and again from 2001-2006. He retired from active politics ahead of the last general election in 2009.
