ALBANY, N.Y. (Reuters) - Mario Cuomo, the three-time governor of New York and a leading voice of the Democratic Party's liberal wing who turned down several invitations to seek the U.S. presidency, died on Thursday. He was 82.
His death came on the same day that his eldest son, Andrew Cuomo, delivered inaugural addresses in Manhattan and Buffalo, New York, after being sworn in for his own second term as governor.
A statement issued by the governor's office later in the day said the elder Cuomo, who served as New York's chief executive from 1983 through 1994, had died of "natural causes due to heart failure this evening at home with his loving family at his side."
The former governor, long a celebrated political orator who was a favorite of the Democratic Party's progressive contingent, was hospitalized on Nov. 30 for treatment of a heart condition.
