Dominica Leader Pierre Charles, 49, Dies of Heart Attack
Charles was born June 30, 1954, in the village of Grand Bay in southern Dominica and first worked as a schoolteacher. He was elected to Parliament in 1985 and appointed prime minister in 2000 after predecessor Roosevelt Douglas died of a heart attack.
It is the second time in the life of this government that we have to go through this trauma," Savarin said.
Recently, the prime minister was critical of the United States when its troops invaded Afghanistan, accused them of killing innocents as he urged a halt to the conflict.
He also called on the United States to lift its trade embargo against Cuba. One of his first acts as prime minister was to establish diplomatic ties with Libya.
