Former CIA Director James Woolsey, who served during the Clinton administration, died this week in Washington, D.C., at the age of 84.

Woolsey's wife, Conchita Sarnoff Woolsey, told several outlets that her husband, who served as CIA director from 1993 to 1995, died Tuesday from a stroke, and that his health had already been declining in recent years because of “Havana syndrome."

The illness is considered mysterious because its cause is not known, but symptoms include severe vertigo causing balance issues, fatigue, crushing headaches and hearing loss.

Woolsey also served as undersecretary of the Navy in the Carter administration, before his stint at the helm of the CIA, and as an adviser on arms control issues to both Republican and Democratic presidents, according to the Associated Press.

He additionally was appointed as a special negotiator for talks between the NATO alliance and the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact on reducing weapons and troops in Europe in 1989, which produced the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe Treaty a year later.
