WOMAN DIES HOURS AFTER SERVING PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

A restaurant owner who served US President
Barack Obama breakfast on a campaign stop has
died hours later. Josephine Harris, 70, who owned Ann's Place in
Akron, Ohio, was taken to hospital after
complaining of fatigue and a tingling feeling. She went into cardiac arrest en route and was
pronounced dead shortly after 11:00 EST (15:00
GMT). Mr Obama arrived the restaurant at about 08:30,
ordering two eggs "over easy", bacon and
wheat toast. The Summit County medical examiner's office
said Josephine Harris had died of natural causes
and there would be no autopsy. In a statement, White House press secretary Jay
Carney said Mr Obama called her daughter from
Air Force One to express "his sorrow and his
condolences". "He was honoured to meet [Ms Harris] this
morning and passed on his feeling that the
whole family is in his thoughts and prayers," Mr
Carney said. The Akron Beacon Journal reported that Ms
Harris had hugged Mr Obama when she met him
at the restaurant. "I'm sure this was her highlight," Frankie Adkins,
her sister, told the Journal. "She loved Obama."
