Ed Lee, a lawyer and affordable housing advocate who was the first
Asian-American to be elected mayor of San Francisco, died early
Tuesday in a hospital there after collapsing. He was 65 and in the
midst of his second full term.
The cause was not immediately announced by his office. In a statement,
the office said he died at 1:11 a.m. at Zuckerberg San Francisco
General Hospital.
Mr. Lee was in critical condition when he arrived at the hospital by
ambulance shortly after 10 p.m. on Monday, according to Dr. Susan P.
Ehrlich, the hospitals chief executive. Mr. Lees family asked that
further medical details not be released, she said.
Local news accounts said Mr. Lee had collapsed while shopping at a
supermarket.
London Breed, the president of the board of supervisors, was named
acting mayor. Dennis Herrera, the citys attorney, said the board can
decide whether it wants to choose a replacement mayor before June,
when an election will determine who will finish out Mr. Lees term. He
was re-elected in 2015.
Good riddance.
