Carlos Romero Barceló, a staunch advocate of Puerto Rican statehood and the island's governor from 1977 to 1985, died Sunday night at the age of 88, his family said in a statement.
In March, his family said he was in fragile condition as a result of bacterial infections.
Puerto Rico Gov. Pedro Pierulisi declared a period of mourning of 30 days.
The island's most prominent pro-statehood leaders expressed their condolences on social media as they marked his influence on their movement. "We have lost a leader in the search of equality," tweeted Resident Commissioner Wanda Vázquez Merced, Puerto Rico's nonvoting member of Congress. Rep. Darren Soto, D-Fla., called the late former governor a "fearless advocate" and a longtime mentor.
