Egypt’s former President Mohamed Mursi collapsed during a court session and died on Monday, the country’s state TV has announced.
It said Mursi had fainted after a court session and died soon afterward.
Mursi was toppled by the military in 2013 after mass protests against his rule.
He had been serving a seven-year sentence for allegedly falsifying his candidacy application for the 2012 presidential race.
State television said Mursi, 67, was in court for a hearing on charges of espionage emanating from suspected contacts with the Palestinian group Hamas.
Mursi was also serving a 20-year prison sentence for a conviction arising from the killing of protesters during demonstrations in 2012 and a life sentence for espionage in a case related to Qatar, Arab News reported.
