@mods Please chime in if possible.

@EBSnyder Okay, I looked for information about this. I found multiple sources reporting things that rhyme with the following:

His son, Chip Carter, confirmed his father died at his home in Plains, Georgia, at around 3:45pm local time.

Most people are awake at 3:45pm. Maybe he was taking a nap. Or maybe he was in a state that could not be described as completely awake or completely asleep.

@Eliza so resolves N/A?

@PaperBoy It looks like @infiniteErgodicity is still an active user and can probably choose how to resolve it.

@infiniteErgodicity Can you chime in on the below official statement? Ty

@EBSnyder I have no clue, ask Jason Carter he knows

The official Carter center statement doesn’t mention it being in his sleep. So I think this can resolve no https://www.cartercenter.org/news/pr/2024/statement-on-president-jimmy-carter-122924.html

@PaperBoy While "died peacefully" doesn't explicitly mean "died in your sleep," it often implies a death that occurred without significant pain or struggle, which is most commonly associated with passing away while asleep, as the person would likely be unaware of the moment of death; essentially, a calm and painless transition from life to death, usually during sleep.

@EBSnyder yeah that is a fair point. I still think we’d have to have evidence of someone saying he died in his sleep for this to resolve yes, though.

The 39th American president, a man with deep humanist convictions, died in his sleep on Sunday at his Georgia home. Carter received the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize for his work on peaceful solutions to international conflicts.

@EBSnyder hmm interesting. The byline says “with AP” but the official AP story doesn’t make mention of sleep. I can’t find any other sources that mention sleep. https://apnews.com/article/jimmy-carter-dies-18c198c20352c835bca3eec276020dd7

Hopefully.
