Son of US Vice President Joe Biden, Beau Biden, died Saturday at age 46, according to a statement by the White House.
Joseph “Beau” Biden III, an Iraq War veteran who also served as the attorney general of Delaware died after battling brain cancer, the vice president’s office said.
Beau Biden is the first child of a sitting president or vice president to die since Patrick Bouvier Kennedy passed away two days after his birth in 1963.
Vice President Biden said in his statement, “More than his professional accomplishments, Beau measured himself as a husband, father, son and brother. His absolute honor made him a role model for our family. Beau embodied my father’s saying that a parent knows success when his child turns out better than he did.”
President Obama, in a statement honoring Beau Biden’s life said, “Beau Biden believed the best of us all. For him, and for his family, we swing our lanterns higher.”

Why is this scourge of cancer increasing by the day? RIP
When companies all over the world like chocolate royale would never stop poisoning people in little bits. The scourge of cancer would never stop growing.
DeleteRest in peace dear Beau.
Sooo Sad....
DeleteMay His soul find Rest wit d Angels in Heaven,amen.
AnD may God comfort His loved Ones....

DeleteIt is only God that can punish the owner of chocolate Royale!! To think the bastard is on the run is amazing. Except he's left the shores of Nigeria, I see no reason why they haven't caught him by now. He has made the bulk of his money in this country, his life is here and not anywhere else. So how he'll run without his bloody investments, and with his bank accounts here not being frozen is what I want to see. Everything he owns should be confiscated until further notice. Bloody murderers!!!!!!
