Celine Dion Loses Brother to Cancer Two Days After Husband’s Death

The eighth of 14 children born to Thérèse Tanguay-Dion and Adhémar Dion, Daniel Dion spent his final days at Maison Adhémar-Dion, a palliative care center in Terrebonne, Quebec, a family statement said. He leaves behind two adult daughters, two grandchildren and an extended family of nieces and nephews. His funeral will take place later this month at St-Simon-et-Jude in Quebec, where the Dion children were raised. “Taking in consideration the reserved character of their deceased brother, the family wishes respect and discretion from the media,” the family said. The news comes as Celine Dion prepares for the funeral of her husband, René Angélil, who died on Thursday at age 73 after a long battle with throat cancer. edited from sdk
