Cairo: Egypt's deposed President Mohamed Morsi has died after appearing in court, Aljazeera reported citing state media.
State TV on Tuesday reported that Morsi fainted after a court session and died afterwards.
"The body has been transferred to a hospital and necessary procedures are under way," Nile News TV said.
Morsi, 67, was democratically elected in 2012 after the 2011 Arab Spring saw the end of President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule. He was then deposed following mass protests and a military coup in July 2013.
Mohamed Morsi served just one year of a four-year term, while the organisation to which he belonged, the Muslim Brotherhood, has since been outlawed.
The Cairo Criminal Court had postponed the trial of Morsi and 23 others in the case of "collaborating with Hamas" for tomorrow, Al Jazeera reported.
In November 2016, the Court of Cassation scrapped the life imprisonment sentence for Morsi and 21 other defendants, including some who had received the death penalty, in the same case, and ordered a retrial.
