He was the third-longest serving head of state, after King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand and Queen Elizabeth II.

Malietoa was appointed for life, his successor will be selected by the legislature for a five-year term.

He died in hospital. The cause has so far not been announced.

Samoa has a population of 182,000. There are a further 120,000 Samoans living in New Zealand.
