Marion Christopher Barry, son of the late D.C. mayor, has died after a drug overdose, family members told News4’s Tom Sherwood.
Sherwood first reported the story on Twitter just before 6 a.m. Sunday. He said Barry had struggled with drug use and ran unsuccessfully for the Ward 8 Council seat in 2015 after his father, former Mayor Marion Barry, died.
Christopher Barry, 36, was the son of Marion and Effi Barry.
Marion Barry was mayor of Washington, D.C., from 1979 to 1991 and 1995 to 1999. He also served on the Council of the District of Columbia for three terms, one as an at-large member and two serving Ward 8.

The former mayor always hoped his son would follow in his political footsteps..Oh he did follow in your footsteps, Mr. Dead Mayor.
It's sad what poor choices people make.

Wonder if the media will make the same excuses for his drug use as they did for his father, namely, that ‘he was so busy taking care of himself that he didn’t have time to take care of himself’.
Cute little slogan that holds no water.
