Tragic Coincidence

An excerpt from USA Today -

John McCain dies 9 years to the day after Ted Kennedy — of the same kind of cancer
By John D'Anna, Arizona Republic

PHOENIX – U.S. Sen. John McCain died nine years to the day after his good friend Sen. Ted Kennedy — both of the same kind of cancer.

McCain, R-Ariz., died Saturday a little more than a year after he was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer that affects roughly 10,000 Americans a year.

Kennedy, D-Mass., a close friend of McCain's in the Senate, was diagnosed in May 2008 and died Aug. 25, 2009.
