No, he's still very much alive. He's in intensive care and they don't expect him to make it much longer, but he's still alive.
millions of people around the world, united by respect and gratitude, are preparing for this beloved man to die.Nelson Mandela is in critical condition.
There is no one in the world like Mandela - a victim who both governed and forgave his tormentors, a figure so universally admired that his countless honours include both America's Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Soviet Union's Order of Lenin.
So as the days have passed since his hospitalisation on June 8 - the slow decline of a giant broadcast everywhere with the speed, detail and distortion that are hallmarks of the internet age - his vigil, too, has been unique.
He is still on life support. I read somewhere Obama met with this family but apparently didn't get to see him.
When he dies you'll know about it, not stop on every media outlet for days and days and days. It will be like your president died.
everyone is saying that he was a hero but he was on life support a day ago so did he die or not
