Los Angeles, CA—It was just after midnight when Christopher Lasseter was walking his little dog in Brentwood. He watched a man he now knows to be Andrew Breitbart crossing Barrington from The Brentwood.
Beritbart was walking without apparent distress in the direction of the Starbucks across the well-lit street. Once Breitbart stepped up on the curb, as Lasseter put it, “He fell hard like a sack of Potatoes.”
A man unknown to Lasseter called 911. The 911 operator told them to begin chest compressions on Beritbart until the police and paramedics arrived.
The very top photo shows where Breitbart died on his back with his head close to the lamp post on the left and his feet under the newspaper vending machine to the right.
Lasseter described Breitbart’s skin color as bright red.
I obtained the interview on video but it’s now property of TMZ.com so look for it over there. I will post a link here once it’s available.
We will be waiting with bated breath for the Medical Examiner's and the Toxicology Reports to know exactly what cut a young man's life short.
Sounds like aortic rupture or dissection to me
Perhaps his known cardiac issue was chronic aortic patency or viability questions
The friendly debate continued in the bar as Breitbart sipped red wine, says Sando. “We just hit it off, he was delightful. There were other people who sat down and joined the conversation.”

“I’ve always wondered how scrubbing works. I thought anything on the Internet was like Vegas.”
It is up to the individual(s) with the archived media. Newspapers, magazines, and broadcasters can and do scrub archived material.
“Can things from the wayback machine be scrubbed?”
Yes and no. Leo Donofrio discovered that when it came to dealing with the issue concerning Justia.com:
“Justia continues to block all access to the Wayback Machine so that a full analysis of changes made to US Supreme Court cases previously published by Justia is impossible. Furthermore, Justia’s allegation that the scrubbing was due to an unintentional coding error has been scientifically debunked.”
So, can the information be scrubbed from the Wayback Machine? I do not know, but access can be denied.
Not meaning to nitpick but heart attack...MI..and heart failure are two different cardiac conditions...the former being more ominous and grim and the latter more chronic
In other words, you're saying that Andrew probably died of a pre-existing heart condition.
It's as valid a theory as any other right now.
Andrew was in the kind of business where collecting information and having assignations went hand in hand.
He may have gone there to meet someone and get a news tip or political intelligence of some sort.
Worse, it could have been a set up.
You should study up a bit....cardiac sudden death is from infarction or a rythym block...which results in a rythym disturbance of a fatal nature
Cardiac sudden death is caused by infarction...as in a result of the muscle starving for oxgenated blood
They are cause and effect...not two distinct maladies
Widow maker is the lower anterior descending cardiac artery
It is responsible for delivering O2 blood to 40 percent of the heart and a big chunk of the ventricle... the lower pump part which is most important and larger
It’s an artery I no longer have btw
Collapsed as an intraseptal defect in my mid 40s
I have 2 mammarial grafts from 2 crack opens 11 months apart
I suspect aortic issue on Andy
I was splotchy and yellowy pallid
Which is why when I woke up at 2am with dull pain in my armpit and looked in mirror
I heard God's voice telling me to drive to St Thomas
48 hours later they popped me open and discovered a very rare LAD defect confirming something congenital i had suspected since high school...early 70s
Of all people, he should have been more acutely aware of what sort of deadly enemies he was making. The man had to know that he had a target painted on his back. Knowing that, it was irresponsible of him to casually walk to the nearest bar for an evening drink.
I agree. For us, but especially for his children.
Yes...AF is a pain and can cause light headedness
VF is an emergency along the lines of gunshot wound to the center thorax
Cyanide would show up if samples are taken soon after death. Cyanide is a cellular respiration blocker. This results in hyperoxygenation of the blood that can’t be used by the cell. Hyperoxygenated blood, even venous blood, appears cherry red for this reason. Postmortem changes will eventually cause the blood to degenerate and lose this coloration given sufficient time. Carbon monoxide will cause a similar coloration and so will hyrogen sulfide.
A lot of information came out about Vince Foster’s shoddy autopsy. With modern tech, it’s not as easy to bury an autopsy as neatly as it was in the ‘80s.
“The Calcium (Ca) and potassium (K) would both require IV administration”
There are many ways to inject chems into the bloodstream other than IVs, right?
“Andrew Breitbart’s Last Interview Was With Sheriff Joe Arpaio About Obama Eligibility”
Now that is a strange timeline!
HCN freezes at 8°F. A sliver of frozen HCN from some device which penetrates the skin, and there won't be anything left over after a few seconds.
Not to get to focused on this, there are a number of ways to assassinate people. His death was just a little too convenient for my taste.
For it to be effective and in sufficient concentrations to achieve a rapid increase in the serum level as required to induce cardiac arrest, it would have to be delivered IV.
OK...I'll do that, but I'm pretty certain that I'll never study enough to learn that Cardiac Arrest and myocardial infarctions are one in the same or somehow absolutely linked.
Thanks for the ping!
