Los Angeles, CAIt 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 Breitbarts skin color as bright red.
I obtained the interview on video but its now property of TMZ.com so look for it over there. I will post a link here once its 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.
Hopium is a controlled substance. You got a prescription for that?
I have to say I was surprised to find upon his death that he wasn't in his fifties. He looked at least a decade older than his 43 years.
BTTT
There is nothing about the description by this eyewitness that either confirms or refutes heart attack or assassination as the cause of death.
What occurs to me is the fact that the political left has no motive from a moral standpoint to refrain from assassinating a political enemy.
Carbon Monoxide poisoning is something that turns the person tomato red. Had a suicide in the ER i went to to draw labs and he had been in his car for hrs with it on. Looked like he was near Hiroshima. Sad but freaky.
There doesn’t seem to be much reason on this article’s comments. I hope you continue to have good check ups.
What are the chances of an overweight, alcoholic (recovering) man—under extreme stress droppingdead of a heart attack? Certainly most people either know someone in that condition who has died suddenly.
Why is it so hard to believe that this guy did such damage to his body in college and the years after. Read his book—he sounded like a fun guy to be around...for the first week or so. I know I couldn’t have kept up with this guy.
It’s too bad...but it really is not a shock.
Only infants?????
Facts are not conspiracies.
Fact: An eyewitness reported that Brietbart had a bright red face when he found him already dead, on a brightly lit street, on his back, directly under the light post.
Fact: That's what's been reported by an eyewitness.
Did you miss this ***fact*** that the street was brightly lit? Are you not as smart as I thought you were? Or...are you attempting to deliberately sow confusion by claiming the street was too dark for the witness to see the red face? Which is it?
There is another explanation. You are attempting to make a **fact** into a “ Nut and Slut” disinformation conspiracy of your **own** making. ( Minus the “slut” part, but I expect that is soon coming.)
Posting history tells which one it is.

I was surprised by that as well. I would have pegged Andrew to be in his mid-fifties. Some folks don't age well. Others seemed to be pickled.
Or you’re being saved for some truly spectacular end. ;)
Take a poll of conservatives this week, and I think you'll find that the overwhelming majority at least suspect foul play in Andrew's death. We're not fools.
Thanks for the injection of real-world experience. Too bad a lot of folks won't bother with your post.
I have it on good authority that Breitbart was actually struck by a remnant fragment from comet Elenin. Yeah, that's the ticket.
a not unreasonable thought at all
“”She was indeed a sack of potatoes, but not red, she was grey and clammy.””
That was my Dad. He survived several heart attacks before the last, but a decidedly grey pallor accompanied them all.
May God rest Andrew’s immortal soul, and may He guide our course.

I noticed that he looked terrible during his CPAC speech too.
Well, other than something unexpected and out of the blue that reeks of conspiracy, I doubt we’ll ever know much other than he had another heart attack .. and this time the fatal one.
He was adopted but of Irish stock, as I’ve read, fair skinned, and had been sipping wine for a couple of hours just before he died.

I have read of instances where the face can turn red during a heart attack, and he was very fair, and it wouldn’t surprise me that he had hypertension, as constantly on the go and highly charged as he was. Some fair skinned folks turn red in the face just from the drinking.
“Even though reddening is harmless, it can be a symptom of a serious condition, such as hypertension or even a heart attack.”

Whatever took him away from his critical mission and from us, his loss is simply monumental. God bless and protect his family and colleagues, and provide us the warriors and citizen galvanization we need to save our nation.
