HARRISBURG -- Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll has died, the governor's office announced tonight.

Mrs. Knoll, 78, had battled a rare form of cancer.

Earlier today, Mr. Rendell had reported that Mrs. Knoll remained in a rehab center and was continuing her "rough and difficult fight" against the cancer.

Mrs. Knoll died at 6 p.m. at the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington, D.C., according to Mary Isenhour, executive director of the Democratic State Committee.

ETA: I guess we'll have a Republican Lt. Governor?

The man in line to take over as lieutenant governor, Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, R-Jefferson, said Ms. Knoll "was a tremendous leader for the commonwealth and embodied the type of character expected of true, effective public servants. Her passion and commitment to bettering the lives of Pennsylvanians will be sorely missed, as it was certainly a staple of her public service.
