| Description | A representative has confirmed the suspected gravity of Mayor Bob O'Connor's medical situation late Thursday night.
After a nearly two-month battle with a rare form of brain cancer, O'Connor was taken off life support and is living "hour to hour," mayoral spokesman Dick Skrinjar said.
The mayor was resting comfortably with family and close friends by his side at UPMC Shadyside, according to Skrinjar.
As long as he is alive, O'Connor will remain the city's mayor -- a job he has held for less than nine months.
In accordance with the city charter, City Council President Luke Ravenstahl will be sworn in as the new mayor -- Pittsburgh's youngest leader ever, at age 26 -- after O'Connor passes. |
