Former US first lady Rosalynn Carter, who president Jimmy Carter called “an extension of myself” owing to her prominent role in his administration even as she tirelessly promoted the cause of mental health, died on Sunday at the age of 96, the Carter Centre said.

She died peacefully with her family by her side, a statement said.
