Patrick Swayze Has Died

After a long battle with pancreatic cancer, Patrick Swayze has died today his publicist reported from Los Angeles. He was 57.

Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January 2008. Despite the diagnosis, he continued to work including a memoir he put together with his wife as well as shooting the A&E drama series “The Beast,” for which he had already made the pilot. He chose not to use painkilling drugs because he felt they would have taken away from his performance.
