Not long after the loss of her husband, Rene Angelil, Celine Dion is mourning the death of her brother, Daniel, at the age of 59. Both men died of cancer.

A representative for Dion said that Daniel had been battling terminal cancer of the throat tongue and brain.

Dion issued a statement which read, "His last days were in the wonderful care of the doctors and personnel at Maison Adhémar-Dion, a palliative care center in Terrebonne Québec. For those wishing to send flowers, a donation to that organization would be very much appreciated."

Angelil died Thursday at the age of 73 of throat cancer.
