Friends and family have been gathering and holding vigil at a Calgary hospital for well-known 770 CHQR talk show host Peter Watts.
The host of the Alberta Morning News was taken to hospital in mid-December fighting a blood infection.
He was released from ICU at one point, but took a turn for the worse last week and is now in a medically induced coma.
His family has been advised that he is not expected to recover.
