The funeral of west Belfast community stalwart John Leathem will take
place today, leaving from his Divis flats home where he passed away
after a battle with cancer on Saturday.
A former chairman of the Divis Tower Falls Residents' Association, he had told friends that he did not want to spend his final days in the hospice but instead chose to die in his flat on the 19th floor of the tower block surrounded by family and friends.
