McNamara, who had become increasingly frail after falling and cracking a vertebrae last year, died at about 5:30 a.m. EDT (0930 GMT), his wife said.

"His age just caught up with him," she told Reuters. "He was not ill. He died peacefully in his sleep."

McNamara was defense secretary for seven years from 1961 to 1968 under Presidents John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson.
