Ted Kennedy

American icon Senator Edward Kennedy has died of brain cancer at the age of 77. The Democrat, the last of the late John F. Kennedy’s brothers, died yesterday following after a long battle with the disease. A statement from the Kennedy family reads, "Edward M. Kennedy, the husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle we loved so deeply, died late Tuesday night at home in Hyannis Port (Massachusetts). We’ve lost the irreplaceable centre of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever." Kennedy is survived by his second wife, Victoria, and his three children from his first marriage.
