There's quite a bit in the media about the death and events surrounding, naturally. The new president was visibly distraught during the swearing in and for once the whole house of parliament was silent. The two Johns had worked well together; never seen a pair like that in my years of consciousness.
But days before the death it is said that the "hawks" were already encircling the vice presidential seat. I am so sad. Just so sad.
