Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej has died at the age of 88
King Bhumibol had spent much of the past year at Bangkok's Siriraj Hospital, where he was treated for various ailments.
A palace statement said that the king's blood pressure had dropped, his pulse had quickened, his liver was not functioning normally, and a blood test showed signs of infection.
King Bhumibol was the world’s longest-reigning monarch, reigning over the country for 70 years.
