Rob Ford, the Toronto city councillor who became the world’s most famous mayor during a wild, scandal-filled term, is dead at age 46.
The married father of two young children died after 18 months of treatment for a rare and aggressive cancer first diagnosed in the midst of his 2014 bid to be re-elected mayor. Ford would have turned 47 on May 28.

Pleomorphic liposarcoma
...Most people with liposarcoma do not feel sick. (click here) They might notice a lump (which can be soft or firm to the touch) that is usually painless and slow growing. Unfortunately, tumors in the abdomen can grow to be quite large before they are found....
...Well-differentiated liposarcoma is the most common subtype and usually starts as a low grade tumor. Low grade tumor cells look much like normal fat cells under the microscope and tend to grow and change slowly.
Myxoid liposarcoma is an intermediate to high grade tumor. Its cells look less normal under the microscope and may have a high grade component.
Pleomorphic liposarcoma is the rarest subtype and is a high grade tumor with cells that look very different from normal cells.
Dedifferentiated liposarcoma occurs when a low grade tumor changes, and the newer cells in the tumor are high grade...
Sincere sympathy for Rob Ford's family and friends; in particular his brother who cared a great deal about Rob Ford.
