charon 4,943 Posted August 21, 2013 Heroin dealing grandmother Mags Haney is suffering from lung cancer. She is a fairly notorious figure in Scotland for heading up the original media "family from hell" and I think her inevitable demise will make the Scottish press. Even before her diagnosis, she was in poor health according to this article from 2011. Dead according to todays Record.
