The Lefaga ma Falease'ela MP left Samoa a week ago and died in New Zealand on Tuesday.
The Speaker of the House, Leaupepe Toleafoa Fa'afisi, announced the news in Parliament's final session today before the April's general election.
Parliament marked the death with a moment's silence.
Toleafoa is the second MP of the ruling HRPP party to die while holding office in the current term.
Leaupepe passed his regards on to the popular MP's family.
