Wow.

His death comes not long after the death of Donald Rumsfeld at age 88 earlier this summer, also a huge figure in both Bush administrations.

Turns out the BBC and CNN are yet again lying over the cause of death.

Powell is confirmed as having blood cancer and was under treatment for it which lowered his immune system. Rumoured to also have Parkinsons.

A 84 year old man, with blood cancer and possibly Parkinsons - and they claim he died of Covid.

My Grandad was 89, had advanced dementia, mobility issues due to multiple strokes, a collapsing immune system - he "died" of pneumonia.
