Edwin Edwards, a Democrat who served four terms as Louisiana governor and nearly 10 years in federal prison, has died. He was 93.
Edwards died peacefully Monday morning surround by his family and friends, Leo Honeycutt, a family spokesperson, told CNN in a statement. Last week, Edwards placed himself in hospice care following an examination at the hospital after complaining of"pain in his right lung," according to the statement."I have lived a good life, had better breaks than most, had some bad breaks, too, but that's all part of it.
In an effort to make a political comeback in 2014, he announced a bid for Louisiana's 6th Congressional District but lost to Republican Garret Graves in a runoff election. After leaving federal prison in 2011, Edwards married his third wife, Trina, who is roughly 50 years his junior. They starred in a short-lived reality TV show"The Governor's Wife" on A&E, chronicling Edwards' post-prison life.
