Longtime U.S. Rep. William D.
FILE - Rep. William Delahunt, D-Mass., speaks at Rep.-elect Bill Keating's victory party in Quincy, Mass., on Nov. 2, 2010. Former longtime Massachusetts congressman and district attorney Delahunt, a Democratic stalwart who postponed his own retirement from Washington to help pass former President Barack Obam's agenda, has died following an illness. He died Saturday, March 30, 2024, at his home in Quincy, Massachusetts, at the age of 82 following a long-term illness, news reports said.
“While we mourn the loss of such a tremendous person, we also celebrate his remarkable life and his legacy of dedication, service, and inspiration,” the statement said. “We could always turn to him for wisdom, solace and a laugh, and his absence leaves a gaping hole in our family and our hearts." President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela posted a statement on X, formerly Twitter, mourning Delahunt's passing. As a member of Congress, Delahunt brokered a 2005 deal with then-Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to obtain heating oil for low-income Massachusetts residents, according to news reports. Delahunt also attended Chavez's state funeral in Caracas in March 2013.
