James Woolsey, the former CIA director, dies at 84, according to reports. He served as CIA director for two years in the early 1990s under President Bill Clinton. Multiple outlets report that Woolsey’s wife says he suffered from “Havana syndrome,” a mysterious set of symptoms reported by some U.S. personnel abroad. The New York Post reports that Woolsey died of a stroke at his home in Washington, D.C. The Independent notes his death and also recalls his role in defending the CIA during one of its major espionage-related scandals. While Woolsey previously addressed and defended the agency during that period, the current accounts focus on his later health and his wife’s statement linking his condition to Havana syndrome. The reports do not provide additional medical details beyond the wife’s claim and the cause of death cited as a stroke.
