ISLAMABAD—Kulsoom Nawaz Sharif, the wife of Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, has died in London on Sept. 11 at the age of 68, officials said.

She died after months in a coma, having been diagnosed with lymphoma last year, barely a month after her husband was removed from office by the Pakistan Supreme Court, which ordered him to face trial before an anti-corruption court. Her husband and daughter, Maryam, are both in jail in Pakistan.
