József Antall
József Antall was diagnosed with cancer in 1992, just two years after he became the first post-Communist Prime Minister of Hungary. Despite undergoing treatment, his health continued to decline, and he became increasingly weak and frail. On December 12, 1993, Antall died at the age of 61 due to complications from cancer. His death was mourned throughout Hungary and the international community, with many recognizing his contributions to the country's transition to democracy and his efforts to strengthen Hungary's ties with Europe. He was succeeded by Péter Boross as Prime Minister of Hungary.
