Rob Ford | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Rob Ford, the former mayor of Toronto, has passed away at the age of 46 after battling pleomorphic liposarcoma, a rare form of cancer, Variety reports.

You may remember years ago, the mayor made headlines when video surfaced showing his allegedly smoking crack cocaine. He entered rehab shortly after.

At the time of his death, Rob was serving on the city council at Etobicoke North. Before being elected mayor in 2010, Rob spent a decade with city council as well. He served as Toronto’s mayor from 2010 to 2014.

Our thoughts are with Rob‘s loved ones during this difficult time.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has announced that he will be taking a break from his mayoral reelection campaign to “go get help,” according to the Toronto Sun.

The 44-year-old politician became a media sensation last year after being involved in a substance abuse scandal. He had denied allegations, but videos were discovered of him that led to Rob admitting to smoking crack cocaine, drinking and driving, public drunkenness, and illegal drug use.

Just this past week, an audio recording of Mayor Ford being unruly while ordering booze at a bar in Toronto was leaked.

Rob says he wants to “deal with his issues” and that his team is advising him to stay in the mayoral race. He will be entering rehab for his substance abuse issues, according to his lawyer.
