Søren Pape Poulsen was taken to a hospital. But doctors could no longer help the 52-year-old.
The leader of the Danish Conservatives, Søren Pape Poulsen, suffered a brain hemorrhage during a meeting of the party's executive committee and died shortly afterwards. The Conservative People's Party confirmed this to the Ritzau news agency on Saturday. The 52-year-old former justice minister was taken to a hospital after the meeting in the city of Odense, the party said on its website. But the doctors could not have helped him any more.
Poulsen was previously mayor of the city of Viborg and in 2014 was elected leader of the Conservatives. (APA/dpa)
