NEW YORK — Frank McCourt is gravely ill with meningitis and is unlikely to survive, the author’s brother said Thursday.
Malachy McCourt said his 78-year-old brother, best known for the million-selling “Angela’s Ashes,” is in a New York hospice, “his faculties shutting down.” “He is not expected to live,” said McCourt, also an author.
Frank McCourt was recently treated for melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, but his brother says he had been doing well until about two weeks ago, when he contracted meningitis. The Associated Press
