Well that's interesting!
The Alberta Progressive Conservative disclaimed his seat on the night the NDP put an end to his party's 44-year hold on power. He was killed along with three others about 17 months later when the aircraft in which they were travelling crashed shortly after taking off from Kelowna, British Columbia.
