Layton had prostate cancer which was treated with curative intent some time before the 2011 election. He had a hip fracture probably related to treatment just prior to the election (hence the cane), which is not an uncommon complication. When he went on leave afterwards, he announced having a second cancer (my theory is a lymphoma secondary to prior treatment), which evidently was pretty aggressive.
Anyway at no time did he milk any kind of sympathy for political purposes - I find comparisons to Ford unseemly and odious.
