Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej, a revered and unifying figure who embodied the nation in his 70-year reign, has died aged 88.

The announcement came in a statement from the Royal Palace read on state TV Thursday, and followed a days-long outpouring of support since the king was hospitalized. He underwent medical procedures over the weekend.

The king died at 3:52 p.m. local time and passed away in a "peaceful manner," the Royal Palace said.


King Bhumibol ascended to the throne 70 years ago, making him the world's longest-reigning living monarch, before his death.
