“passed away unexpectedly”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Gee! Why is it that when I see that phrase I think, “Breitbarted”?

Same thought crossed my mind...

Yes, I agree. Very sad, but also very alarming! For the sake of everyone (family and followers), I hope that there will be an autopsy. The Breitbart death was highly suspicious to me: a possible assassination via cyanide-spray induced heart attack (the Soviets had perfected a small portable cyanide gun powered by CO2 cartridges, which shot a tiny, powerful & deadly watergun-like stream of liquid cyanide). The weapon was developed in the 1950s and was used by the KGB to carry out some 200 assassinations around the world by the time a KGB defector to the US disclosed the weapon's existence to the FBI in late 1963. When they debriefed the defector, he gave the one example of the weapon he had described. So, the FBI and CIa received a sample weapon to examine and test operate at that time (Sept. 1963, I think). There were also indications that that is how and why UN Ambassador Adlai Stevenson died on the streets of NYC just a few weeks after an annual physical that gave him a clean bill of health. That was revenge for embarrassing the Soviets in the UN (over the Cuban Missile Crisis). The stated effective range was 2 meters (80 inches), which when aimed at the target's chest would penetrate clothing and chest cavity and induce a lethal heart attack. Within 15 minutes there would be no traces of the substance on the victim's clothing, so as to defeat postmortem forensic analysis. Readers Digest had a major story about that whole business about 5 years afterwards, as I recall reading about it in that publication. But, at this point, I'm not exactly certain of the year I read about it. I think it was while I was in the Army on active duty (in the late 1960s). The story created quite a stir at the time. BTW, my last active duty post in the Army was for support of an overseas military intelligence operation.
