30 May, 2015

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said on Saturday his son Beau has died after battling brain cancer.

“The entire Biden family is saddened beyond words. We know that Beau’s spirit will live on in all of us, especially through his brave wife, Hallie, and two remarkable children, Natalie and Hunter,” a statement released by the White House said.

Earlier this month, Biden, 46, a former Delaware attorney general, was reported to be undergoing treatment at Walter Reed Army Medical Center outside Washington.

After eight years as attorney general, Beau Biden joined the investor law firm Grant & Eisenhofer in 2015.

He served a yearlong tour in Iraq as a captain in the Delaware Army National Guard and underwent surgery at a cancer center in Texas last year. He suffered a mild stroke in 2010.
