Andrew Breitbart's death to be reviewed by L.A. County coroner
LA Times ^ | March 1, 2012 | Staff Report

Posted on 03/01/2012 9:47:30 AM PST by Beaten Valve

The Los Angeles County coroner's office will review the death of conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who collapsed and died Thursday while taking a nighttime walk near his Westwood home.

Given his young age -- he was 43 -- and the unexpected manner in which he died, authorities will conduct an autopsy to help determine a specific cause of death.

Breitbart's father-in-law, actor Orson Bean, said in an interview with The Times that Breitbart was found collapsed near his home about 12:30 a.m. Paramedics took him to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, but doctors were unable to revive him.

"We're devastated. I loved him like a son," Bean said. "It looks like a heart attack, but no one knows until" an autopsy is done.

I would not trust those two one iota. Andrew thought Ayers a sociopath yet still supped.

Even a heart attack at 43 is rare.
We will never know, that is for sure.

Might want multiple autopsies.

Nice handle. I once worked with a Jewish lawyer that was a dead ringer for Larry Fine.

Andrew Breitbart lived his life like a meteorite - By his own admission he didn’t get enough sleep and I doubt he had time for any kind of regular exercise. He looked to have been putting on a few pounds lately and his father-in-law said that he had some heart history.

While I do not trust Bambi or his minions as far as I could spit them, I do not think that rampant speculation of a Communist/CIA secret assassination does our side any good.

I pray that the wonderful teams that Andrew hired to manage The Bigs will carry on his excellent work. I pray that he made LOTS of copies of the tapes he claimed to have from Obama’s college days and left them with a whole bunch of different people.

But mostly, I pray for his wife and his four young children - that God will give them some measure of peace and comfort in the midst of their unimaginable grief!

From WIKI:

Bean was born Dallas Frederick Burrows in Burlington, Vermont, the son of Marian Ainsworth (née Pollard) and George Frederick Burrows. His father was a co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union, a fund-raiser for the Scottsboro Boys’ defense, and a 20-year member of the campus police of Harvard College.[1] Bean graduated from the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He is a first cousin twice removed of Calvin Coolidge, who was President of the United States at the time of Bean’s birth.[2]

For me, I’d be checking everything he had ingested in the last 48+ hours - that’s just me though

Well, now that they know that we know they may need to pull a different stunt.

The family can also have an independent autopsy performed.

That would be if the family chooses his final resting place. Nonetheless, it is a highly suspect report of an undoubtedly suspicious death.

Call me what you want. I don’t trust a LA County Coroner.

I want that autopsy done in an amphitheater packed with top forensic doctors. I want more doctors in there than a Dodgers game.

Low fives in the White House this morning. Wonder if Barky had a live satellite feed?

I once referenced the “paging Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard” line and he had no idea what I was talking about. When I explained, he said, “Oh, I never watched the Stooges.”

I agree... not normal to go walking at midnight in LA - not the safest thing to do and I would think AB would be aware of that.

No question...this needs to be investigated by people without a (Dem.) after their names.

I didn’t either.

I like the idea of the coroner looking into this. At his age, I’m not surprised.
