Wayne Curtis Weldon Jr., 35, a son of former Congressman Curt Weldon of Delaware County, was found dead Monday, Aug. 29, in his Boyertown apartment, his father said Saturday.
Mr. Weldon was found on his sofa. An autopsy was planned, his father said.
Mr. Weldon had Type 1 diabetes that required regular insulin injections. But it was his long struggle with drug addiction that the family wanted to be "transparent and open" about, Weldon said.

Prayers going up for the family.
Type 1 diabetes people are really screwed. My brother had it. He had a death wish. Died at 43.
“No stigma for drug addicts” means more drug addicts. No stigma for babies born out of wedlock means more babies born out of wedlock. No spiritual or moral component to civilization means decadence and decline.
Prayers to the family...RIP...
RIP. Condolences to Congressman Weldon and his family.
