BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- Former U.S. Rep. Gerry Studds, the first openly gay person elected to Congress, died early Saturday at Boston Medical Center, a hospital official said. He was 69.
Christian Kiriakos, central administrator at the hospital, said Studds died between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. He did not have additional information, and details of Studds' death could not be immediately confirmed.
Studds, a liberal Democrat who spent more than 20 years in Congress, was censured by the House in the 1980s for having sex with a 17-year-old male page. He was re-elected for several more terms.
Last year he married his longtime partner, Dean Hara, in Boston.

That was my first thought...particularly when FNC says that no one was aware he was sick or had any physical problems.

"Oh, the irony..." Are you talking about his name having been in the news lately or the, "dead at 69" headline?

Studds, a liberal Democrat who spent more than 20 years in Congress, was censured by the House in the 1980s for having sex with a 17-year-old male page.This has to be a pre written obituary that CNN had composed some time ago when they were proudly boasting of his accomplishments as a Democrat.
They will change this Obit in a hurry when they realize how it sounds in light of the Republican Foley/Hastert scandal.
