James Brokenshire, the former Northern Ireland Secretary, has died, age 53, the Press Association reported on Friday, citing a statement from his family.
Brokenshire had been suffering from lung cancer and resigned from the government in July following a recurrence of his illness.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak said Brokenshire was “a man of public service and the highest integrity,” adding that he will be “deeply missed.”
