Rep. Gillmor Died In Fall, Autopsy Suggests By Josephine Hearn Sep 7, 2007
(The Politico) Although a heart attack was at first suspected in the death of Rep. Paul Gillmor, an autopsy revealed Friday that he in fact died of massive head and neck injuries sustained in a fall down the steps of his Arlington townhouse.
The cause of death was "blunt head and neck trauma," according to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for northern Virginia.
"The injuries sustained were consistent with a fall and the death appears to be accidental," said Det. Steve Gomez, a spokesman for the Arlington County Police Department. "We have no evidence of foul play."
It was unclear what precipitated the fall. The medical examiner performed toxicology tests as a part of the autopsy. The results of those tests were not released.
Two of Gillmor's aides discovered his body crumpled at the base of a flight of stairs in his home Wednesday morning after he failed to show up for work. The Ohio Republican was 68.
Arkancide?
Yeah, but...
did he ever cross the Clintons?
Ugh. Poor man. :-(
I’m not sure of the clinton connection, but here it is in the port clinton news. That’s 3nough for me.

Someone should propose legislation to ban stairs or install elevators in all residences of members of congress.
Arkancide
” Rep. Gillmor Died In Fall “
Yea , but who pushed him ?
No, he died in late Summer.
I’m waiting for the big plastic bubble the Government is going to provide me, free of charge of course, to keep me safe.
I’m not sure how they are going to get the keg in and out, but hey, that’s their problem!
Are you calling the people who performed the autopsy liars!?
You’ve got it. I said immediately that the police should ALWAYS treat any “mysterious” death of a Congressman or Senator as a homicide until proven otherwise. Obviously now we have something that could have been a homicide. Blunt force trauma is what killed Michael Peterson’s wife (in Durham, NC) whose death he claimed was a result of her fall down their house steps.
After a lengthy trial, it was proven that instead Peterson beat his wife over the head - causing the blunt force trauma.
This Congressman rated very high on the conservative scale, voting “right” on all the major issues.
The Chinese communist agents are here - Mr. Hsu is one.
They are killers. And Hitlery’s goon squads are killers.
Nothing will come of this.....but if I were a Republican or conservative Congressman/Senator I would please for beefed up security for each and every one of the conservatives. The libs have nothing to fear unless they cross hitlery.
“plead” not “please” sheesh
Wonder who pushed him down the stairs?
Of an apparent heart attack.
No, I'm calling the news headline writer incompetent. How much effort would it have been to write "A" before "Fall"?
Nope, must be an Arkancide. Why? Get series.
Hilliary’s gang already controls US government, and according to all polls is set to firm up their control in the next election.
If they wanted to revert to form and kill somebody again, why would they not assassinate somebody that could actually slow down their agenda?
