https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49438682Billionaire David Koch, a major donor to the Republican party, has died aged 79. He had been suffering from cancer.
The former majority owner of Koch Industries was ranked by Forbes, jointly with brother Charles, as the 11th richest person in the world.
Koch wielded huge political influence, bankrolling conservative causes for small government, low regulation and climate change scepticism.
He was also a major donor to medical research, education and the arts.
The brothers' political network funnelled hundreds of millions of dollars to Republican candidate Mitt Romney's failed presidential bid in 2016, only to fall out with President Donald Trump over his immigration policy and tariffs.

I did have a drink to ease the pain.
I hope his living brother and he will be reunited... soon.
The family paid some guy at The Independent to write a damage-control article flattering him.
Koch-suckers.
