Deceased New Jersey congressman wins primary

Donald Payne suffered a heart attack on 6 April and died in hospital over two weeks later, after filing deadline for primary

A popular New Jersey progressive Democrat who served six terms as a congressman has won his party's primary for the state's 10th congressional district - despite dying in office more than a month ago.

Representative Donald Payne, 65, suffered a heart attack on 6 April and died in hospital more than two weeks later - after the filing deadline for the primary, and too late for a vacancy committee to meet to replace him on the primary ballot.
