Predicting Rob Ford's Demise

[probyn]

I think there is a real danger that Rob Ford will die within the next several years or sometime in the near future. He is obese, which is a risk factor for a host of problems such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc... He is an angry guy and angry people have a very high risk of developing heart disease and cancer. I think he is an alcoholic, and I think he dabbles in street drugs (although this has not been comfirmed). People with substance abuse problems tend to die prematurely.

Perhaps it is a bit morbid to do so, but I predict he will die in the summer of 2014.

Gee, nothing like sticking your neck out. If he doesn't, what then. Will you predict 2016? He's only in his mid 40's.

You can die in your mid 40s.

It sounds more like somebody who just wants to point out Ford's faults, either real or alleged.

I think he should start smoking crack so he can lose some weight quickly.

You also can die in your 20's 30's, 50's and 60's, so what? I suspect SHACK hit it on the head.

I was trying to think of well known heavy set deceased of the same size - John Candy (44) & Chris Farley (33) come to mind. I think he will hang in there for a few years yet. I think of him of a bit of drunken buffoon but his heart is in the right place and I certainly wouldn't like anything physical to happen to him.

They seldom reach the national average for age at death, hence the term, morbidly obese.

I hope he gets healthier soon.

I don't think he's a bad person~ just an incompetent (and ignorant) person.

I wonder how much of his weight problem stems from his personal issues...

Ok... with our history of mayors, after rob Ford, we will probably get the Cash Man as mayor. OH YEAAH!
