Zambian President MICHAEL SATA, 77 has died while receiving treatment in London, say family.
(CNN) -- Zambian President Michael Sata, who was nicknamed "King Cobra" for his fiery comebacks and larger-than-life personality, has died. He was 77.
Sata had traveled to London for unspecified medical treatment last week, and died at a hospital there Tuesday evening. Officials did not disclose a cause of death.
"It's shocking, it's devastating, because I knew he was sick. But I did not know it was going to end this way," said George Zulu, permanent secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "(We) lost a man who devoted his whole life to his country."
