President Gerald R. Ford took a Christmas vacation trip to Vail, Colorado, in December 1974.
He was 93, making him the oldest former president, surpassing Ronald Reagan, who died in 2004, by just over a month.
His death was announced late Tuesday night in a statement issued by his wife, Betty Ford, which gave no details. Further family announcements today gave no cause of death, but he had been in and out of the hospital since January 2006, most recently in October at the Eisenhower Medical Center for medical tests. He returned to his home in Rancho Mirage after five days of hospitalization.
