Former Ontario Lieutenant-Governor Dies

David Onley was appointed in 2007

Ontario's sitting lieutenant-governor says David Onley, who held the same post for seven years, has died at age 72.

Lieutenant-governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell announced Onley's death in a statement this weekend, but provided no details.

Appointed to the role in 2007, Onley was the first visibly disabled person to hold the lieutenant-governor position, using a motorized scooter after having polio as a child.

He championed accessibility issues both during and after his term, and is survived by his wife and three sons. 

He was the 28th Lieutenant-Governor.
