Thanks to all who sent emails about the sad news (also discussed in yesterday’s rant/revel) – from the Washington Post:
“The death was confirmed by his mother, Brenda Rhodes Miller, who said he died “suddenly” Wednesday morning.
Last month, Cooper announced his intention to seek the Ward 4 council seat being vacated by Muriel E. Bowser, who will become mayor Jan. 2.
Cooper had become engaged to be married last week, according to a family statement.”
