Former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon has died following a long illness.
The 85-year-old's son was quoted as saying he had died, eight years since a stroke at the height of his powers left him in a coma.
Gilad Sharon said: "He has gone. He went when he decided to go."
Sheba Medical Centre, where he was being treated, said he died at around 2pm (midday UK time).
Mr Sharon's condition suddenly deteriorated on January 1 when he suffered serious kidney problems after surgery.
Nicknamed 'The Bulldozer', the veteran soldier fought in all of Israel's major wars before beginning a turbulent political career in 1973.
Long considered a pariah for his personal but "indirect" responsibility for the 1982 massacre of hundreds of Palestinians by Israel's Lebanese Phalangist allies in Beirut's Sabra and Shatila refugee camps, he was elected premier in 2001.
