Mr Mnangagwa had been Mr Mugabe's appointee before supplanting him.
Singapore's remote service said it was working with the Zimbabwean international safe haven there to have Mr Mugabe's body flown back to his nation of origin.
Who was Robert Mugabe?
He was conceived on 21 February 1924 in what was then Rhodesia - a British state, kept running by its white minority.
In the wake of condemning the legislature of Rhodesia in 1964 he was detained for over 10 years without preliminary.
In 1973, while still in jail, he was picked as leader of the Zimbabwe African National Union (Zanu), of which he was an establishing part.
Mr Mugabe ruled Zimbabwe for a long time
Once discharged, he went to Mozambique, from where he coordinated guerrilla strikes into Rhodesia yet he was likewise observed as a talented arbitrator.
Political understandings to part of the arrangement in the new free Republic of Zimbabwe.
With his prominent in the freedom development, Mr Mugabe verified a mind-boggling triumph in the republic's first decision in 1980.

Be that as it may, over his decades in power, global recognitions soured. Mr Mugabe accepted the notoriety of a "strongman" pioneer - all-ground-breaking, managing by dangers and viciousness yet with a solid base of help. An expanding number of pundits named him a despot.
Shackled to one man
He kicked the bucket a long way from home, severe, forlorn, and mortified - an epic life, with the shabbiest of endings.
Robert Mugabe epitomized Africa's battle against imperialism - in the entirety of its wrath and its failings.
He was a bold government official, detained for setting out to resist white-minority rule.
Media captionMugabe: From war legend to acquiescence
The nation he at last prompted freedom was one of the landmass' most encouraging, and for quite a long time Zimbabwe pretty much prospered. Be that as it may, when the economy wavered, Mr Mugabe lost his nerve. He actualized a cataclysmic land change program. Zimbabwe rapidly slid into hyperinflation, disconnection, and political turmoil.
The security powers kept Mr Mugabe and his gathering, Zanu-PF, in power - for the most part through fear. However, inevitably even the military betrayed him, and drove him out.
Barely any countries have ever been so bound, so shackled, to one man. For a considerable length of time, Mugabe was Zimbabwe: a heartless, unpleasant, some of the time beguiling man - who helped ruin the land he adored.
In 2000, he held onto land from white proprietors, and in 2008, utilized savage civilian armies to quietness his political adversaries during a race.
He broadly proclaimed that no one but God could expel him from office.

Mr Mugabe's ruin came after doubts that his better half Grace may succeed him
He was constrained into sharing force in 2009 in the midst of monetary breakdown, introducing rival Morgan Tsvangirai as leader.
In any case, in 2017, in the midst of worries that he was preparing his better half Grace as his successor, the military - his long-term partner - betrayed the president and constrained him to step down.
What has the response been?
Agent Information Minister Energy Mutodi, of Mr Mugabe's Zanu-PF party, told the BBC the gathering was "particularly disheartened" by his demise.
"He's a man who trusted himself, he's a man who put stock in what he did and he is a man who was self-assured in whatever he said. This was a decent man," he said.
Not every person concurred, in any case.

Is Zimbabwe more terrible off now than under Mugabe?
George Walden, one of the British mediators at the Lancaster House Agreement in 1979 which finished white-minority rule, said Mr Mugabe was a "genuine beast".
The understanding "turned out rather well... furthermore, searched useful for some time", however Mr Mugabe later turned into "a terribly degenerate, awful despot", he said.
Zimbabwean Senator David Coltart, when named "an adversary of the state" by Mr Mugabe, said his inheritance had been defaced by his adherence to viciousness as a political instrument.

I've perused a few tweets expressing that #RobertMugabe passing is the part of the arrangement. I can't help disagreeing. Lamentably the negative parts of his heritage - savagery, affront for the standard of law, defilement and maltreatment of intensity - live on in the new system which ousted him in the 2017 overthrow

"He was constantly dedicated to savagery, going right back to the 1960s... he was no Martin Luther King," he told the BBC World Service. "He never showed signs of change in such manner."
In any case, he recognized that there was another side to Robert Mugabe, who "had an extraordinary enthusiasm for training... [and] mellowed in his later years".
"There's a ton of fondness towards him, since we should always remember that he was the individual essentially in charge of closure severe white minority rule," the congressperson said.
South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa called Mr Mugabe a "victor of Africa's motivation against expansionism" who propelled our very own battle against politically-sanctioned racial segregation".
Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta said Mr Mugabe had "assumed a noteworthy job in molding the interests of the African landmass" and was "a man of fearlessness who was never reluctant to battle for what he put stock in notwithstanding when it was not famous".
Kenya will fly every one of its banners at half-pole this end of the week out of appreciation for Mr Mugabe, he said.

Veronica Madgen and her better half ran perhaps the biggest homestead in Zimbabwe before it was attacked by Mr Mugabe's supporters, constraining the family to go to the UK.
Addressing the BBC, she reviewed: "The tractors [were] being scorched, the cruisers [were] being singed, stones [were being] tossed through the window… It was hard to really dealt with what was occurring.
"I was dismal for him and his family, in light of the fact that for the initial 20 years he represented that nation, he was a decent pioneer, until that risk of losing that decision got hold of him and he turned."

However Mr Mugabe is probably going to be associated with his initial accomplishments, the BBC's Shingai Nyoka reports from the capital, Harare.
In his later years, individuals called him a wide range of names, yet now is most likely when Zimbabweans will recall his 37 years in power, she says.
There's a nearby saying that whoever bites the dust turns into a legend, and we're probably going to see that now, our journalist includes.
