Tom Hayden, a peace activist, who attended the University of Michigan where he was editor of the Michigan Daily, died from complications related to a stroke he had about 18 months ago, CNN reports.

Hayden served nearly two decades as a California state lawmaker.
"A political giant and dear friend has passed," Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti tweeted. "Tom Hayden fought harder for what he believed than just about anyone I have known."
