Carl Levin, the former U.S. senator from Michigan who over a 36-year career became a dominant figure on the Armed Services Committee and a fierce champion of his state’s automobile industry, has died, his family said in a statement. He was 87.
A statement released late Thursday by Levin’s family and the Levin Center at the Wayne State University Law School did not list a cause of death.
