JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Journalist and author Heidi Holland, who chronicled the rise of Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe from freedom fighter to power-obsessed leader, died Saturday at her home in South Africa, police said. She was 64.

Lt. Col. Katlego Mogale said a gardener found Holland’s body Saturday in her home in Melville, a suburb of Johannesburg, dead from an apparent suicide. Mogale said there were no signs of foul play, nor any items missing from her home to suggest a burglary.
