Former Sen. John W. Warner of Virginia, a former Navy secretary who was once married to Elizabeth Taylor, has died at 94, his longtime chief of staff said Wednesday. Warner died Tuesday of heart failure at home in Alexandria, Virginia, with his wife and daughter at his side, Susan A. Magill said. A former secretary of the Navy, Warner was for a time chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. After years of rivalry, the two became good friends, and John Warner attended his swearing-in in January 2009. John Warner had an independent streak that sometimes infuriated conservative party leaders but won him support from moderates in both parties.
