Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, under pressure to quit after admitting he smoked crack cocaine and had a drink problem, could enter rehab, his lawyer says.
Dennis Morris told the Globe and Mail that the mayor of Canada's largest city was "considering options".
"And we'll stay tuned to see what he says in the next few days," Mr Morris told the newspaper.
His comments come a day after Mr Ford apologised for a video of him threatening to kill an unknown person.
The 44-year-old married father of two said he was "extremely, extremely inebriated" at the time it was filmed and he was "embarrassed" by it.
Toronto police said last week they have a separate video apparently showing Mr Ford smoking crack cocaine, which has not been made public.
