Video from when he was diagnosed:

"Patrick Swayze, whose hunky good looks and sympathetic performances in such films as "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost" made him a romantic idol to millions, died Monday. He was 57.

Swayze died of pancreatic cancer, his publicist, Annett Wolf, told CNN.

'Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months,' Wolf said in a statement Monday...."

I actually shed a tear for him. He was a heavy, heavy drinker back in the day, and alcoholism contributes to pancreatic cancer. Some even say it's the main cause of it. It's fairly rare to get it if you've not had a term of heavy drinking in your life. He was a very under rated actor.
