Cummings' cause of death: "complications arising from long-standing ill health."
NPR, CNN, CNBC, ABC, etc., etc... | October 17, 2019 | Golux of the Old Pyjama Patrol

A careful monitoring of the media today confirms that Rep. Cummings died from "complications arising from long-standing ill health."

As you wouldn't accept that as a cause of death for a loved one, as a life insurance underwriter would never accept those words to approve a payout, and as a police detective would never accept those inappropriate and vague words from a coroner... What do they mean?

"complications arising from long-standing ill health." Like Napoleon? Al Capone? Lenin? Lincoln?

Just wondering.

Our revered hero who did everything - made so many friends, spoke out, was so corurageous, crossed the aisle, helped people of color according to all the whites in congress - basically did everything but improve the lives of the people he represented...

Why did he die?

“Infection, likely from knee implant device.”

Perhaps with his immune system weakened from diabetes, the result of listening to the ‘professionals’ and thus eating far too many carbohydrates.

"he died of aids or venereal disease probably"

I always ignored anything about cummings and am using your comment to ask this question: Why would he die from VD? was he known to have it? was he a fruitcake?

I think he suicided. He knew Pres Trump would never be impeached and that caused him to self destruct.

Meanwhile, the (rodent) rats in his State are multiplying with joy. Can you hear them? LOL

"Or expect a family member to announce a run for the seat to keep the money rolling."

His current wife Maya Rockeymoore, is 20 years his junior. She's also the chair of the Maryland Democratic Party. Before that she ran for Governor of Maryland. You know she'll be throwing her hat in the ring to succeed him. This article is from this past May regarding allegations of her using a charity to benefit herself:

...hate and envy are self-destructive emotions and that those who are consumed with hate and envy age a lot faster than others.

NAILED IT!

"I presume the family and close friends know what the long standing illness was."

He had suffered from chronic TDS since November 8th, 2016.

If any of those subpoenas were signed, and served while Cummings was in the hospital, President Trump should have his White House lawyers challenge every one of them, claiming that there is no proof he (Cummings) was in full control of his faculties when he signed them.

"Have your operation done by a surgeon who has done 1000+ knees and aboiut 200 per year at a good out patient surgery."

Remember when John Murtha died of complications from gall bladder surgery? I guess they knicked his intestines. My grandmother died on the operating table during gall bladder surgery in 1946. She was on 55. I think Murtha's was done laparoscopically. I had my gall bladder out in 2015. They had to cut me open to do it due to scar tissue from previous abdominal surgeries. You just never know when you go under the knife.

Oh! my goodness - I never heard of such a thing. Maybe that’s what happened with our friend. I thought he should change doctors/surgeons and in the process probably hospitals but that is astounding to learn! How would a person know to ask?

no proof he (Cummings) was in full control of his faculties when he signed them.

Would be interesting to see what medications he was on.
Probably not worth the paper they are written on.

I was surprised also....he could sure be a nasty old curmudgeon. I think it was Mark Meadows who was ranking chairman with him earlier this year and said they were good friends..that’s when Mark Meadows was accused of being a racist by one of those twisted females from The Squad - and said that Cummings knew he wasn’t a racist because he had a grandson (I think he said) who is biracial...

I wonder what the MD law is on replacing a sitting Member of COngress? They have a R (nominally) governor but he would not are defy the establishment and appoint a R to represent that District.
