Former Sen. Jesse Helms, a Capitol Hill icon who devoted 30 years in the Senate to championing conservative causes, died Friday morning. He was 86. The Jesse Helms Center posted a brief statement on its Web site saying Helms died at 1:15 a.m. in Raleigh, N.C., on the Fourth of July.
"He was very comfortable," said former chief of staff Jimmy Broughton, who added Helms died of natural causes in Raleigh. (more)
