Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic has been found dead in his cell at the United Nations war crimes tribunal at The Hague. Milosevic's death has been confirmed by prosecutors at the war crimes tribunal, as well as Serbian officials. The 64-year old Milosevic had been on trial since February 2002, facing more than 60 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity for his role in the Balkan conflicts. His trial had been interrupted repeatedly because he had been in poor health. Over 250,000 lives were lost and millions of people were displaced in the Balkans as a result of Milosevic's policies in the 1990's.
