Myint Swe, who became Myanmar’s acting president under controversial circumstances after the military seized power from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi more than four years ago, died on Thursday, the military said. He was 74.

He died at a military hospital in the capital, Naypyitaw, on Thursday morning. His funeral will be held at the state level but the date has not been disclosed.

Myint Swe’s death came more than a year after he stopped actively carrying out his presidential duties after he was publicly reported to be ailing. State media reported on Tuesday that he had been in critical condition and receiving intensive care since July 24 at a military hospital in Naypyitaw. Swe’s funeral will be held at the state level.
