Apple has just released an official statement that former Apple CEO, Steve Jobs is dead. The statement says:

We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today.

Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.

His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.

Jobs died today after years of battling pancreatic cancer. His health made him resign as CEO in August putting Tim Cook in the position. He was aged 56.
