VANCOUVER (CP) - Chuck Cadman, the Independent MP from B.C. whose vote rescued the minority Liberals and spared the country a summer election, has died.

Cadman, 57, died Saturday morning after a two-year battle with skin cancer at his home in suburban Surrey with his wife at his side, his office said in a news release.

An independent by nature as well as political stamp, he cast the deciding vote to help Prime Minister Paul Martin's government survive a May 19 confidence motion.

He flew to Ottawa for the vote soon after completing chemotherapy treatment, saying he was obeying the wishes of constituents who did not want to face another election a year after giving the Liberals their shaky mandate.

Cadman suffered from malignant melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer.

RIP sad

This is truly a great loss, Mr. Cadman was one of the few politicians who card about his constituency and who actually worked to improve the lives of people he represented. He will be greatly missed.
