Dick Cheney cause of death: When did Dick Cheney die? How old was Dick Cheney when he died?

Dick Cheney death was reported on November 3. Cheney had lived with heart disease for decades and, after the Bush administration, with a heart transplant. He died at age 84 from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease, his family said.

Cheney overcame five heart attacks and had a heart transplant before writing a book with Reiner about his medical odyssey.

Cheney was a towering figure of his time. At 34, he became the youngest White House chief of staff in U.S. history, helping President Gerald Ford steer the country out of the debacles of Vietnam and Watergate in the 1970s. Representing his home state of Wyoming as a member of the House in the 1980s, he vaulted into leadership. As defense secretary for President George H.W. Bush, he oversaw the successful prosecution of two wars: one ousting the drug-running leader of Panama and the other evicting Iraqi invaders from Kuwait.


But it was during his time as the second-in-command to the younger Bush from 2001 to 2009 that he made his most indelible mark on history. Through force of will and mastery of Washington's curious ways, Cheney turned a second-tier office into a first-tier platform to drive policy at home and abroad.

He was often described as the real mastermind of the administration, an assertion that nettled Bush. But insiders said the puppeteer image was overblown and noted that the two in fact drifted apart on many issues by the end of their time in office.
