QuoteFormer Toronto mayor Rob Ford-- whose tenure was marred by revelations about his drinking problems and illegal drug use -- died Tuesday at 46 after a battle with cancer, his family says.

Ford was diagnosed with cancer in September 2014. The illness forced him to withdraw his bid for re-election as mayor and he ran instead for a city council seat, winning in a landslide despite his notoriety.

"With heavy hearts and profound sadness, the Ford family announces the passing of their beloved son, brother, husband, and father, Councillor Rob Ford earlier today at the age of 46," his office said in a statement.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Chronologically was only 46 but from all the partying he did his body must have been 100 biologically.

Now I feel bad about bringing him up in one of the Trump-related threads very recently- it must have been what did it. I blame Trump!

Blimey. He was young. :(

+1 I don't care what people thought of him, 46 is way too young. RIP.

Douchebag or not, it's not the way I wanted to see him leave the political stage. My condolences to him and his family.
