WASHINGTON, Aug 26, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – US senator John McCain, a celebrated
war hero known for reaching across the aisle in an increasingly divided
America, died Saturday after losing a battle to brain cancer, his office
said. He was 81.
“Senator John Sidney McCain III died at 4:28pm on August 25, 2018. With the
senator when he passed were his wife Cindy and their family,” his office said
in a statement.

years.”
