Scranton, Pennsylvania – Former U.S. President Joe Biden has passed away in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, just after suffering from a sudden and severe medical emergency, sources close to the family confirmed early Tuesday morning. He was 82 years old.

Biden, the 46th President of the United States, who served from January 20, 2021, to January 20, 2025, reportedly collapsed at his residence late Monday evening. Emergency services were called to the scene, but despite efforts to revive him, he was pronounced deceased shortly after midnight. While the official cause of death has not yet been released, preliminary reports suggest it may have been related to a sudden cardiac event.

Born on November 20, 1942, in Scranton, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most prominent figures in American politics. His decades-long career included 36 years as a U.S. Senator from Delaware, eight years as Vice President under Barack Obama, and a single term as President. Known for his folksy charm, resilience in the face of personal tragedy, and a commitment to working-class values, Biden often referred to Scranton as the heart of his identity.

President Biden’s tenure in office was marked by significant legislative achievements, including the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act and major infrastructure investments, though his administration also faced challenges such as rising inflation and geopolitical tensions. After leaving office in 2025, Biden had largely retreated from the public eye, spending much of his time in Delaware and Pennsylvania with family.

Tributes poured in from across the political spectrum within hours of the announcement. Current President [Name] released a statement saying, “Joe Biden was a patriot and a public servant of the highest order. His compassion and dedication to the American people will leave a lasting legacy.” Former President Barack Obama, a close friend, called Biden “a brother and a statesman whose heart was always with the people he served.”

Biden’s personal life was marked by both triumph and profound loss. He endured the deaths of his first wife, Neilia, and daughter, Naomi, in a 1972 car accident, and later the loss of his son Beau to brain cancer in 2015. He is survived by his wife, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, his son Hunter, his daughter Ashley, and several grandchildren.

Residents of Scranton, a city Biden often championed, gathered Tuesday morning outside his childhood home on North Washington Avenue to lay flowers and pay their respects. “He never forgot where he came from,” said Mary Ellen Connolly, a local shop owner. “He was Scranton through and through.”

Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced, though it is expected that a state funeral will be held in Washington, D.C., followed by a private burial in Delaware. The White House has indicated that flags will be lowered to half-staff for 30 days in honor of the former president.

As the nation mourns, Biden’s passing marks the end of an era for a leader whose career spanned over five decades of American history. His final return to Scranton, where his story began, feels a fitting close to a life defined by service and perseverance.
