| Description | Former Ontario NDP MPP Peter Kormos has died at the age of 60. The cause of death is not immediately known.
Kormos died Saturday morning at his Welland, Ont., home, according to Niagara Region Coun. Andrew Petrowski
Police and EMS were called to Kormos's home about 10:46 a.m. ET, according to The St. Catharines Standard.
Kormos, a criminal lawyer by trade, was first elected to the legislature in 1988.
After nearly 23 years in provincial politics, Kormos was elected in 2012 to represent Welland —50 kilometres west of Niagara Falls — on the Niagara Regional Council, winning with 73 per cent of the vote.
"He fought very articulately and cogently for anything he stood for," Petrowski said. "When Peter stood up nobody in council, including the chair, could control him. He was in control of that council and he would get his thought across come heck or high water."
Petrowski, a conservative politician, hosted a weekly talkshow on a local radio station with Kormos. |
