Veteran US Senator Edward Kennedy, the brother of ex-President John F Kennedy, has died at the age of 77 after battling a brain tumor.
The Democratic Massachusetts senator was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in May last year, the BBC reported.
He became a member of the Senate in 1962 to replace his brother when he resigned to become president, and was re-elected seven times.
He has been an active supporter of current President Barack Obama.
Correspondents say Senator Kennedy has been a dominant force in liberal American politics for almost half a century, especially on issues like healthcare and education.
The Kennedy family announced his death in a brief statement in the early hours of Wednesday.
Edward Kennedy was the only one of four brothers to die a natural death.
His brother Joseph was killed in an air crash in World War II, and both President John F Kennedy and presidential hopeful Robert F Kennedy were assassinated.
