South Korea's President Park Geun-hye has become the country's first democratically elected leader to be forced from office.
Judges unanimously upheld Parliament's decision to impeach Ms Park over her role in a corruption scandal involving close friend Choi Soon-sil.
She now loses her presidential immunity and could face criminal charges.
There are reports one person protesting outside court in support of Ms Park has died - details are still emerging.

- The friendship behind a presidential crisis
- South Korea's corruption scandal explained
- Did a puppy bring down South Korea's president?
- The tragedy of South Korea's first female leader
- The career of a trailblazer in South Korean politics
The court ruling is the culmination of months of turmoil which brought South Koreans to the streets in protest.
Today South Korean President Park Geun-hye will learn if her impeachment by the South Korean assembly is upheld by the Constitutional Court. The case stems from bribery and influence scandal involving her friendship with Choi Soon-sil. It's alleged that she used her friendship with President Park to enact policies and pressure major Korean corporations to make large monetary donations to charities controlled by her.
Park Geun-hye is not the first Korean president to be impeached. The late President Roh Moo-hyun was impeached by the National Assembly on 12 March 2004 over his attempts to create an administrative capital outside of Seoul. On 14 May 2004 the country's Constitutional Court overturned his impeachment.
If Park Geun-hye impeachment is upheld she be removed from office immediately losing her constitutional protections against prosecution.
