Well that's interesting!
After leaving politics, Lapierre became a respected political commentator on both radio and television in Québec. He died in a plane crash on landing near the Magdalen Islands airport, on his way to his father's funeral. His wife, two of his brothers, one of his sisters, and the two crew members also died.
