Father of British prime minister dies while holidaying in France

DAVID CAMERON’S father, Ian, died yesterday after suffering a stroke while on holiday in France.

Downing Street said the 77-year-old died shortly after the British prime minister reached the hospital in the south of the country.

The prime minister’s spokesman said Ian Cameron’s death was not believed to be connected to any previously existing medical condition. He and the premier’s mother, Mary, were halfway through a two-week holiday when he suffered a stroke and heart complications overnight.
