Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz has died in hospital, state TV says.
Before the announcement, Saudi television cut to Koranic verses early on Friday, which often signifies the death of a senior royal.
King Abdullah, who is said to be aged about 90, had been in hospital for several weeks suffering from a lung infection.
The king came to the throne in 2005 but has suffered frequent bouts of ill health in recent years.
