Andrew Breitbart, the conservative firebrand and web publisher, has died, according to his Big Government website. In a brief post, the site said he died at age 43 of natural causes.
His death was confirmed to msnbc.com by the Los Angeles Coroner's Office.
According to the Associated Press, Breitbart was walking near his house in the Brentwood neighborhood shortly after midnight Thursday when he collapsed, his father-in-law Orson Bean said.
Someone saw him fall and called paramedics, who tried to revive him. They rushed him to the emergency room at UCLA Medical Center, Bean said.
Breitbart had suffered heart problems a year earlier, but Bean said he could not pinpoint what happened.

I just read this on Drudge.
I am in total shock and greif!!!!!
RIP Andrew Breitbart, man of courage. You were needed for times such as these. I hope his colleagues are able to step up and continue his work.
I believe he was about to release some video of Obama?
"The edited video appeared to show Sherrod making a racist comment, but the full tape later put the remark in context and made clear that Sherrod was actually talking about bridging racial differences.
I saw the unedited video and it reveals Shirley Sherrod for exactly what she is; A racist.
Why even Fox adds this misinformation to their report baffles me. Breitbart did not take her quote out of context and Sherrod was not trying to bridge racial differences when she made her remarks about the white farmer.
Can’t believe this. Too young.
He was sick and tired of liberals. RIP
The DUmmies are having a field day.
The full tape absolutely confirms that she is 100% racist in her thinking. The fact that she decides to help the white farmer in spite of her racism does nothing to dispel the charge.
Every thought process she reveals in that speech is run through the prism of race.
We have lost a great one. A giant. An inspiration.
Wow!
That was my first thought when I read the headline;
How is the NSA involved?
So when destructive Commie asswipes pass, are they referred to as “liberal firebrands”?
This is grievous, isn’t it? I feel very sad as I think about Andy defending me against the Marxist arm of today’s media. Yes, me. Who will replace the work of this brave freedom fighter? Who can defend me now with such dedication, and living his life on permanent offense for the cause of Freedom?
Jonah Goldberg said that Andy’s wife was his rock. They were raising four children. What a woman to be able to keep the home fires burning selflessly for her Type A husband.
He deserves the Medal of Honor for great journalism in the face of crushing forces.
A Freedom Fighter, par excellance.
Sad news, and shocking! Prayers for his family who must be missing him terribly.
“How is the NSA involved? “
The tin foil in me makes me wonder if he was taken out by powerful unseen forces?
This is the kind of guy that the left hated and wished would die.
On the other hand, lots of 40 plus men who are slightly overweight drop dead without warning from clogged arteries. That’s why controling weight and exercising hard is so important.
Hopefully one of his buddies has the video tape that he planned to release.
Probably related in some manner to the O’Keefe suit against Olbermann and that crowd of Nazi perverts.
The movement has lost a leader, and I lost a friend.
