What a coincidence! Breitbart's coroner dead from arsenic poisoning?
RT ^ | 05/03/2012

Posted on 05/05/2012 1:43:03 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

The unexpected death of conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart just got a whole lot more mysterious. Only two months after Breitbart’s passing, the coroner that investigated the cause of death may have succumbed to arsenic poisoning.

Michael Cormier, 61, passed away on April 20, the Los Angeles Times reports this week. Although Cormier’s death is only being publicized now, the timing of actual passing actually came within hours of the release of the preliminary autopsy report of Breitbart.

Commenting to the Times on the latest news, Lt. Alan Hamilton of the Los Angeles Police Department says that investigators have not ruled out foul play in the death of Cormier. Authorities have yet to confirm how they believe arsenic entered his system — or if the coroner was deliberately poisoned — but Cormier passed away after being admitted to a hospital in Burbank, California last month after displaying symptoms typical with the illness.

Now as investigators consider how Cormier’s life came to an end, others are still probing the untimely passing of Breitbart, an event which spawned conspiracy theories within minutes. As some have spent the last several weeks considering the pieces of the puzzle involving the journalist’s death, an unusual twist has been added to the mix.

Hours after the death of Breitbart was confirmed in early March, skeptics were quick to question what role his passing may have had in relation to a public address he delivered earlier in 2012. Speaking to the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. only weeks earlier, Breitbart claimed he had videos that would end the political career of US President Barack Obama.

“I have videos, this election we’re going to vet him,” Breitbart said back in February “We are going to vet him from his college days to show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008.”

Although investigators would go on to call Breitbart’s March 1 death the result of heart failure, even some of his personal friends put forth the notion that it was an inside job. “He told me RECENTLY he had big dirt on Obama… MANY believe it's murder!” radio host and pal Mancow Muller tweeted after his death, adding in a similar micro message that he had his doubts about the initial reports of natural causes.

Speaking to reporters at Los Angeles’s KABC News, investigators with the LA Police Department say that doctors at the hospital that Cormier died at have raised suspicions over the coroner’s death.

IIRC when the news came out that Breitbart died of heart failure, it was said that the full coroner's report would be out in about a week. But wasn't that a few weeks ago? I'm not sure if a coroner's report is even a public document since they usually go into medical details the family may not want released.

From what I have heard Cormier was a photographic technician working with the medical examiner. Of course it is intentionally misleading to call him a coroner.

Very strange. Since Breitbart was Jewish (or so I hear), an autopsy wouldn’t be performed unless there was strong suspicion of something wrong. Results had to wait for extra tox screens.

And now the examiner, “who may have done the autopsy” is dead from “maybe arsenic”?

The wall of dead ppl around the Democrats is staggering.

There is another interesting factoid to munch on...(pun intended)

Sometime prior to Breitbart's death, he had dinner at the Ayers/Dohrn place. Not only that, but Ayers was the Cook!

i thought it was already determined that the guy had nothing to do with Breitbart?

This is RT, from the masters of disinformation. That puts it somewhere between the Enquirer the Star.

They said originally; this would take 'weeks'(!) and much longer, perhaps. Does it really take 'this' long to detect arsenic?

Here is the URL of what comes up when you type in “mysterious deaths around obama” :https://ixquick.com/do/metasearch.pl?query=mysterious+deaths+around+obama&cat=web&pl=ie&language=englishb

It’s very extensive.

Does anyone recall the FR post with the statement of an eyewitness who said Breitbart's face "turned bright red" immediately before his collapse?

Coronary failure causes blue-to-gray pallor. Cyanide causes a bright red flush...

“Coronary failure causes blue-to-gray pallor. Cyanide causes a bright red flush... “

Having watched someone going through a heart attack that killed him, I testify to the truth of that. He was revived, but died after the cardiac care machinery was disengaged.

That picture disgusts me, for obvious reasons. Why dine with an enemy of the country you supposedly love so much. No doubt, Breibart did; but I still don’t get being in the “company” of this man and his wife; the same goes for Tucker “Bowtie” Carlson.

The closest exposure to arsenic he might have at work is with the arsenic compounds use to preserve tissues. Most arsenic found in the US commercially is combined with a copper solution as wood preservative.

Rat poison no longer contains arsenic, instead using an anti-blood coagulant.

The EPA has long had a very strict standard for arsenic in drinking water. So truthfully where anyone would get enough (likely arsenic trioxide) to poison would be quite rare.

This whole thing is silly I mean who would want to kill Breitbart anyway and the same goes for a technician or coroner who may have had some knowledge of the case just plain silly—Right

Kind of reminds you of the klinton era, and it's NO coincidence!

Very strange! I mist admit I’ve been completely dismissing claims of a conspiracy to kill Brietbart. It just seems too crazy.

However ultimarely, wrt Brietbat’s death, before I’d even think of a conspiracy to kill him, I’d have to ask first: where are the materials he apparently claimed to possess that would take down Obama? If they are all still around, maybe just sitting in his house, then: a) Why haven’t they been released and b) as far as a conspiracy to kill him goes, it didn’t have the intended effect if the incriminating material against Obama is still available.

So does anyone know the answer to these questions?
