June 22 (UPI) -- Alan Greenspan, longtime Fed chair, dies at 100
Longtime Federal Reserve Chairman and economist Alan Greenspan has died from complications related to Parkinson's disease Monday at the age of 100.
Greenspan's wife, Andrea Mitchell, confirmed his death in a statement. He was at his home in Washington when he died.
"Alan passed away at our home this morning at the age of 100 from complications of Parkinson's disease," Mitchell said. "He was a giant of a man who helped shape the U.S. economy for decades under presidents of both parties, but was always honest in acknowledging his mistakes."
