The Prime Minister of Barbados has passed away
The Honorable David Thompson, Prime Minister of Barbados and leader of the Democratic Labour Party, age 48 passed away this morning at 2:10am after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. You can view the information at www.nationnews.com (although this morning it's very slow in coming up or not at all.. be patient. There are stories of his life his politics etc.). I would imagine that at sometime in the next week or two there will be a national day of mourning and a state funeral.
