As we all know by now, Francis Magalona passed away yesterday (March 6, Friday) at 12 noon. The sad news was first broken to the public by Vic Sotto on Eat Bulaga. Though it was already common knowledge that the Master Rapper has leukemia and that death is inevitable, the news still came as a shock to many. He was 44.Apparently, he succumbed to multiple organ failure and died a few hours after he was rushed to Medical City in Pasig on Thursday night. During the early hours of Friday, the doctors described his condition as "toxic" from the severe sepsis, which is quite common with his kind of leukemia: acute myelogenous leukemia. He was supposed to undergo his fourth chemotherapy session on Friday and he was scheduled for a bone marrow transplant on March. Leukemia has no known cure, or any other cancer for that matter, but the transplant might have given Kiko a year or two more.
Alas, life is mysterious and all we mortals could do is accept our fate that death will come knocking on our doors anytime, anywhere and anyhow.
