Pittsburgh Mayor Near Death?

A report says that Pittsburgh's beloved Mayor Bob O'Connor is near death. He has been battling brain cancer. Please pray for him and his loved ones. According to the Post Gazette:

Late last night, administration spokesman Dick Skrinjar announced to reporters that Mr. O'Connor's condition had deteriorated. "The mayor has gone from day-to-day to hour-by-hour," Mr. Skrinjar said. He added that Mr. O'Connor was surrounded by family members and friends and that he was not on any life support at UPMC Shadyside Hospital, where he has been since July 10 for treatment of central nervous system lymphoma.
