Arizona's Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva died on Thursday at the age of 77, due to complications from his cancer treatment, his office said in a statement. 

The 12-term Democrat had been under treatment for cancer, and has been largely absent this year because of complications from his health, Politico reported.

He is the second House Democrat to die in office this month, after Texas Rep. Sylvester Turner died on March 5.
