Former President Kim Dae-jung died at 1:42 p.m. Tuesday, Severance Hospital in Seoul said.

Kim, 85, has been under intensive care at the hospital since mid-July due to pneumonia.

He won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts at reconciliation with North Korea, including a historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-il in 2000.
