Commentator and editor Andrew Breitbart, a polarizing website publisher who once helped edit the Drudge Report and found his way to tea party stardom in recent years, died of heart failure and hardening of the arteries, the Los Angeles County coroner’s office said Friday.
The office ruled that the cause of Breitbart’s death was heart failure and hypertropic cardiomyopathy with focal coronary atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries.
Coroner’s officials deemed the death “natural,” and toxicology tests detected no illicit drugs in Breitbart’s system. His blood-alcohol level was 0.04%

Truly looks like somebody knew too much...
Coroner’s officials deemed the death “natural,” and toxicology tests detected no illicit drugs in Breitbart’s system.
Words like “deemed” and “said” make no reference to any official report. They do not even say WHO exactly told them this at the coroners office. There is no one who can verify that any of this was actually said and by whom. They do reference actual toxicology tests but those were published. I think that the lack of any named source is suspicious. (at least to me)
If he had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and it was known that he had a “heart condition” as reported in the media, then this was it and he WOULD HAVE BEEN on prescription meds. For certain something to slow his heart rate and prevent arrhythmia. He would have seen a cardiologist regularly. This condition is what happens to someone who suddenly drops dead with NO KNOWN heart condition. It’s usually genetic and it happens to YOUNG athletes most often. During a game, the victim suddenly drops dead. An EKG and/or an echocardiogram would show the thickening of the heart muscle. If Breitbart had this, it would likely have been known early in life, since he lived into middle age with it. Very suspicious that he had no meds in his system and that this coroner’s photog suddenly died suspiciously and may have been the one to photograph his body. They searched the photographer’s home. Did he have photos there?
