Rob Ford, former mayor of Toronto who battled drug and alcohol addiction, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2014 and lost his battle early Tuesday.

He gained international notoriety after admitting smoking crack cocaine in 2013 and stealing a fan's seat at a Buffalo Bills' game during their stint at Rogers Center in Canada.
