Mandela drew his own last breath: report

Mandela drew his own last breath: report - Times LIVE: "The last breath Nelson Mandela drew was his own, free of any life support, in the presence of his closest family members, according to reports.

“By the time he died on Thursday evening, he was not on a life-support machine and had been breathing on his own,” the Sunday Times weekly reported.

The anti-apartheid champion who became South Africa’s first black president had been repeatedly hospitalised with lung troubles in recent years and had often had to rely on artificial ventilation.

The Sunday Times said grandson Mandla had been urgently summoned from the village of Mvezo in the Eastern Cape province to his grandfather’s bedside."
