SASKATOON, Saskatchewan -- Vic Howe, Gordie Howe's younger brother and a former NHL player with the New York Rangers, has died. He was 85.

Helen Cummine, the Howes' sister, said Vic Howe died Saturday in Moncton, New Brunswick, days before a family gathering in Saskatoon. She said he had dementia and suffered a heart attack.

The 86-year-old Gordie Howe had two disabling strokes late last year. His family has said his health has improved after stem cell treatment as part of a clinical trial in Mexico.

Vic Howe had three goals and four assists in 33 games with the Rangers in parts of three seasons from 1950 to 1955.

WTF? Stem cell treatments in Mexico??? This must be some crazy ass shit they are trying on him! He must be in terrible shape to go to that extreme!

stem cell treatment as part of a clinical trial in Mexico"..

The family said it really helped.. But how much and in what way?

If you have a disease that can kill you, and have the money..this is what people do.

I'm talking about going to Mexico. I wouldn't get a freaking tooth pulled in Mexico! He is more likely to die from some other problem going down there!
