U.S.-WORLD

Jim King , the former Florida Senate president who fought Gov. Jeb Bush and his own Republican Party over Terri Schiavo's right-to-die battle in 2005, died Sunday in Tallahassee after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 69.

King was Senate president from 2002 to 2004. His final term in the Senate was to expire in November 2010.

A feisty, plainspoken figure, King gained national attention when he helped lead a group of Republicans who blocked a bill favored by Bush that would have forced Schiavo's feeding tube to be reinserted.

The brain-damaged woman died in 2005 after her husband removed the tube over the objections of her parents.

King once told the St. Petersburg Times editorial board that his initial 2003 vote in support of state intervention in the case was "probably one of the worst votes that I've ever done."
