The Supreme Court has announced that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died aged 87 after a battle with metastatic pancreas cancer.
Ginsburg was only the second woman to serve as a Supreme Court Justice.
While surrounded by her family, she passed away at her home in Washington D.C.
Ginsburg served for 27 years and had several bouts of cancer after first being diagnosed in 2009.
She announced in July she was undergoing chemotherapy treatment for lesions on her liver.
Her death paves the way for Donald Trump to expand his conservative majority on the Supreme Court ahead of Novembers election.
Ginsburg, the leader of the courts four-member liberal wing, voiced concerns about the political impact of her passing in the days leading up to her death.
