Reputable sources have reported that former British Prime Minister and Conservative party leader Baroness Margaret Thatcher has passed away.

Sources close to the controversial former Conservative party leader have reported that Thatcher passed away peacefully in her sleep earlier this evening.

It is understood that her health had declined dramatically in recent weeks & it was reported that she had suffered strokes in the recent past.

She had also been suffering from senile dementia.

Her death has not yet been reported by the mainstream media as not all of Baroness Thatchers close relatives have been informed of her passing, however more information will be made available as it comes in.
