John Sidney McCain III, a Vietnam War hero with more than 35 years of public service who became one of the most distinctive figures in modern American politics as a maverick conservative who took delight in disruption, died Saturday at his home in Arizona.
He was 81.
McCain’s daughter Meghan posted a tribute to her father on Twitter shortly after his death, saying she was with him “at his end as he was with me at my beginning.”
