Passes of Viscount Bennett Near His Seventy Seventh Birthday
Viscount Bennett of Calgary, a prairie lawyer who became Canada’s Conservative prime minister, died suddenly at his Juniper Hill home near Dorking in Surrey. He was 76, nearly 77, and had long suffered heart disease and diabetes. His staff said he did not bathe last night, fatiguing after an evening out, and suffered a fatal heart attack in the bath. Bennett, who rose from Calgary to Ottawa, led the Conservative party to victory in 1930 and held Western Canada interests throughout his career. He retained public duties via Red Cross work and Lords attendance until declining health. The death leaves a legacy tied to Western Canadian politics and imperial conference leadership.
