[URBAN NOTE] "Rob Ford sedated, receiving palliative care, chief of staff says"
Is this how the Rob Ford story will end? From CityNews:
City councillor Rob Ford is sedated and receiving palliative care, according to his chief of staff Dan Jacobs.
Jacobs said that at this point there has been no change in the former mayor’s condition but added that Ford is now unconscious and has been sedated for the pain.
“At this time, the treatment that Councillor Ford is receiving is palliative in nature,” Jacobs said in a statement. “Palliative care is often administered in conjunction with other treatments, and he has in fact been receiving it almost since first becoming diagnosed, both at home and the hospital.”
On Friday, Jacobs said that Ford was alert and conscious.
It was announced last week that Ford’s cancer was not responding to treatment.
