Luke Letlow, who was elected to represent Louisiana’s 5th District in Congress earlier this month, died Tuesday evening from complications with COVID-19.

Letlow, 41, died at Ochsner-LSU Health Shreveport from “complications from COVID-19,” his spokesman, Andrew Bautsch, said in a statement.

Letlow was admitted to a Monroe hospital with COVID-19 symptoms on Dec. 19th before being transferred to the Shreveport hospital and being admitted to the ICU. Letlow is survived by his wife, Julie Barnhill Letlow, and two young children, Bautsch said.

One cannot help but wonder if the use of HCQ - Zinc - Zpack or Ivermectin-Doxycycline-Zinc or Quercertain - Zinc - Vitamin D regimens as a prophylactic could be stopping COVID in its tracks. Woe unto those who perhaps knew better and withheld effective treatment from Americans and the rest of the world.

Prayers up for this family and for our nation in this hour of need.

Letlow was Republican. Gov is Democrat. This is very sad. He was newly elected 11/3.
And he was young. Not sure about pre-existing conditions.

It stated he died of a cardiac event but still claim it was Covid related. Very sad.

Because Covid can weaken your heart. I know it is not politically correct to acknowledge covid as harmful, but it can be detrimental to your health.

He’s 41 and looks in pretty good shape, though there’s likely more to this.

I’m 69 next week. I got Covid back in September. Cost me a couple weeks.

GOP Congressman-elect.

Governor do not appoint House members - this would have to go to a special election.

Very sad...so young with a wife and young children.

That's what getting COVID can do. Inflammation and blood clots can cause cardiac events.

Well, yes, COVID can cause severe inflammation and blood clots which can cause cardiac events. That has been widely known since the start of the pandemic.

Bringing facts into a discussion about COVID and acknowledging reality can be a dangerous thing.

I think it’s been consensus for a long time that COVID-19 has horrible effects on the cardiovascular system, including, but not limited to, blood clots, strokes, and heart attacks.

So no one ever dies of a heart attack at 41? Maybe, just maybe he died with covid rather then of covid. You know like has been happening for over 10000 years. You fear bros are too much.
