(WA,DC)May 30- In a statement given by the White House, Joseph "Beau" Biden III, the oldest son of Vice President Joe Biden, died on Saturday of brain cancer.
History of health problems- Back in 2010 Beau Biden suffered from a stroke and in 2013, he was treated at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston after he became disoriented and weak while on vacation. While at the medical center he was diagnosed with brain cancer, and after undergoing surgery was given a clean bill of health.(CNN)
Fast forward to 2015, Biden was told that the cancer had returned, launching agressive medical treatment at the Walter Reed National Miltary Medical Center in Maryland. The treatment proved to be no match for the cancer , Biden succumbed to the deadly disease.
