Former Salvadoran President Francisco Flores died Saturday
in a private hospital in the capital after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage, his
party confirmed. Flores, 56, had been in a coma since undergoing emergency
surgery.
Flores, who led El Salvador from 1999 to 2004, was under
house arrest on charges of embezzlement and illegal enrichment.
He was accused of diverting more than $15 million, which had
been donated by Taiwan to help the victims of earthquakes in 2001. A court says
$10 million of that went to the party backing him and the remainder to him, AP
reports.
