Former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has died at the age of 46 after fighting cancer, his family has said.

Mr Ford had battled drug and alcohol addiction, and gained international notoriety after admitting smoking crack cocaine in 2013, but he was loved by supporters.

In 2014 reporter Rajini Vaidyanathan joined Rob Ford on the campaign trail as he fought for re-election as mayor.
