The president of Vanuatu, Baldwin Lonsdale, has died after a heart attack at the age of 67. Lonsdale, an Anglican priest who was appointed to the largely ceremonial role in September 2014, died in Port Villa, the Pacific Island nation’s capital, early on Saturday, the newspaper said. "I'm sure the government and every other - especially at the political level - people would recognise that Vanuatu has lost a very outstanding leader," he said.
