The President of the European Parliament David Sassoli passed away in a hospital in Italy at the age of 65.
Sassoli was undergoing treatment for immune system disorder.
He had led the European Union body that approves or rejects legislation and is responsible for establishing budgets and supervising a combination of institutions.
The European Parliament sits for a five-year term between elections, but the president of the body serves for half that time.
He was a member of the centre-left Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, the second-biggest grouping in the parliament after the centre-right European People's Party.
