Sarah Palin announces that her boyfriend, Ron Duguay, has died at age 69 after a battle with cancer. Multiple outlets say she made the announcement via social media and that the pair had shared their journey together online.
Several reports also describe the cancer as stage four and identify it as colon cancer, with one outlet adding that it has spread to his liver. Coverage largely focuses on Palin’s public mourning and her posts, including references to bedside moments and calls for prayers, rather than on broader medical or career details beyond his status as a former New York Rangers star.
