Former US president Gerald Ford passed away on Tuesday at age 93. Only last month he had supplanted Ronald Reagan as the oldest living person to have once been president of the United States, and in the end his life lasted 45 days longer than the Gipper's. Below is a list of the presidents of the United States included on the Dead or Alive? site along with their current status. As the table shows, there are now four living men who've served as President of the United States (3 ex and one current). As recently as 2004 that number was six.
