His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej has passed.  It is a very sad day indeed.  He was an extraordinary man, the world's longest reigning monarch.

As an American, I have a special love for the King. He was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts while his father was attending Harvard Medical School.

His Majesty the King passed away, the Royal Household Bureau announced.

The bureau announced that His Majesty passed away at 3:52 pm at the age of 89.

His Majesty has been hospitalized for years.

The bureau said in the statement that His Majesty has been admitted to the Siriraj Hospital since October 3 2014 and the doctors have been providing treatment to His Majesty to their full efforts.

"But His Majesty's condition gradually worsened until His Majesty passed away at 3:52 pm at the Siriraj Hospital peacefully. He was 89 years and has been on the throne for 70 years.

World leaders are expressing their condolences.

From the USA:

Quote

Secretary of State John Kerry says the United States "stands with the people of Thailand at this difficult time" after the death of its king.

Kerry said in a statement Thursday, "Our thoughts and prayers are with you."

King Bhumibol Adulyadej was born in the U.S. Kerry said that a square named for Bhumibol at his birthplace in Cambridge, Massachusetts, "will remain an enduring memorial to the special bond he created between our peoples. He will be long remembered and will be deeply missed."

Massachusetts is Kerry's home state.

Although U.S.-Thai relations ties have been strained since a 2014 military coup in Thailand, the two nations are close allies and have diplomatic relations dating back more than 180 years. Bhumibol visited the U.S. twice in the 1960s and addressed Congress.

Quote

President Barack Obama is offering his condolences to Thailand on the death of its king.

Obama says King Bhumibol Adulyadej was a tireless champion of his country's development and also showed an "unflagging devotion" to improving the standard of living for the Thai people.

The king died Thursday at age 88 after his health declined.

Obama says the king was a close friend of the United States and a valued partner of many U.S. presidents. He recalled meeting the king during a 2012 visit to Thailand.

Obama says the king leaves behind a legacy of care for the Thai people that future generations will cherish.
