Supreme Court of the United States Court dies

News of her death was given by the Supreme Court through a statement that says Ginsburg died of pancreatic cancer at her home in Washington, surrounded by family.

Earlier this year, the late judge had announced that chemotherapy would be subject because of the relapse, the BBC writes.

She was a well - known feminist and became the main figure of liberals in the United States. Ginsburg was the oldest judge and the second in history to be part of the Supreme Court, where she served for 27 years.

As one of the liberal judges of this body, Ginsburg's health has been conveyed. Her death highlights President Trump's attempt to expand the weak conservative majority in the group of judges even before the November elections.

According to sources within the White House, President Trump is expected to nominated a conservative judge as soon as possible.

Ginsburg had shown cancer five times. She has been treated in the hospital several times in recent years, but was soon back at work in all cases.
