I had no idea the dude was sick. Has it really been 4-5 years since he was always shown on Letterman?

TORONTO (Reuters) - Rob Ford, the former mayor of Toronto who gained global notoriety for admitting to smoking crack cocaine while in office, died from cancer on Tuesday, his office said in a statement.

 

The Toronto city councillor, 46, had been undergoing treatment for an aggressive form of cancer that had recurred despite surgery and several rounds of chemotherapy.

During his tumultuous 2010-2014 tenure as mayor of Canada's most populous city, Ford admitted to smoking crack cocaine, buying illegal drugs and driving after drinking alcohol.

 

He was diagnosed in September 2014 with pleomorphic liposarcoma, a rare and hard-to-treat cancer found in soft, fatty tissue of the body, after he was admitted to a hospital with abdominal pain.

Amusing guy, lousy person. 46 years was more than enough. RIP.

Nah, I saw him as more of a real life Chris Farley character. He was amusing and mostly harmless, not counting the DUI incident. Besides 46 is entirely too young for anyone except the worst of humanity, Hitler, Pol Pot, Osama Bin Laden, Justin Beiber, etc.
