Former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has died at the age of 46 after fighting cancer, his family has said. Mr Ford, who battled drug and alcohol addiction, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2014. He gained international notoriety after admitting smoking crack cocaine in 2013, but he was loved by supporters. "A dedicated man of the people, Councillor Ford spent his life serving the citizens of Toronto," his family said in a statement. He could not run for re-election as mayor in 2014 due to his cancer diagnosis, but won a city council seat in a landslide. His image contrasted sharply with Canada's usual calm, buttoned-up politics. While serving as mayor, he was videotaped and photographed while intoxicated in public areas.

drunkenness and fat and drug addled.....what possibly could go wrong?...
as to this man's death, I'm thinking the same thing as when Anna Nicole died....probably good in the long run...these types of people are panderers to very destructive behavior and the sooner they complete their goal of being 100% out of it , the better for society...
basically, they wanted to be mind numb and they got the gold ring...

Plenty.
But to attribute THIS cancer that Rob Ford contracted to those causes is simply an invention, and all 3 of us know that.
You really think Anna Nicole’s death was the best thing for her daughter?
