Lake Manitou is inside an island inside a lake, but I don’t think it’s in Michigan.

He left the State Senate in 2008, and in 2016 media was still calling him Senator Hood.. and he had complication after and possible during the surgery...

What has this dude done since he left the State Senate 12 years ago? was he on disability...

He left the State House in 2008, but served in the State Senate thru 2018.

Not sure, probably an illness, but I read a couple of references to his wife in Detroit papers and he posted a letter in her obituary.

Condolence From: Morris W. Hood III
Condolence: To my wife Angela, In my heart I wonder why it so often seems to be I can never say the things that really mean the most to me I wonder why it seems that when I find the words at last, The perfect time for saying them to you has long since passed I wonder how to tell you all you've brought into my life The daily joy of having you beside me as my wife. I wonder and I hope that you can read my heart, my mind, And see the love, the feelings, for the words I cannot find. Thank you for putting up with me. Thank you for being my pit crew at the races Thank you for alowing me to do what I do. Thank you for understanding the long days and late nights. Thank you for being my biggest fan and supporter. I cannot begin to explain how much you will be missed. From your Mac & Cheese, to you trying to teach me how not to burn the microwave popcorn. Ultimately, thank you for sharing your life with me. Morris Sunday July 28, 2013

Did they forget to mention alcohloism, smoking, and an inoperable cancerous brain tumor?

No, just that he had a compromised immune system.
