Coroner’s office speaks on Breitbart mystery

“Mr. Cormier was not the attendant on Mr. Breitbart’s case, nor did he do any of the handling nor any of the investigation,” Winter told WND.
Winter says the chief medical examiner at the coroner’s office has put a security hold on the Cormier case, so he’s not at liberty to discuss specifics.
“It allows for law enforcement to complete our investigation, and so that nothing gets out until we make our determination,” he explained, noting holds are often used in officer-involved shootings, an in-custody death and high-profile cases.
“There’s been a lot of speculation in connection with the Breitbart case,” he admitted.
Winter says after he directly told one news agency – which he refused to name – that Cormier was “absolutely” not connected to the Breitbart case, that news agency actually reported the opposite, that he was involved.
“As soon as they did that, I had like 20 different agencies call up [to confirm that],” Winter said. “I spent half the day doing disclaimers [to stress], ‘No, I didn’t say that!’ Sometimes [the media] need to make a big sensational issue.”
Winter described Cormier, 61, as “a good guy,” who was one of 17 forensic techs employed by the office.
“He was a forensic attendant, he would assist the doctors in autopsies,” he explained.
Winter says the coroner’s office has 25 full-time pathologists and 37 consultant doctors.
“If we have to bring in a specialist, such as an anesthesiologist or cardiologist, we’d maybe bring in a consultant to validate what our findings are,” he said.
This article was very poorly written and had a number of inaccuracies.
If the police actually told the authors that they don’t know why Cormier died but they know it wasn’t related to Breitbart’s death, then that is about as unprofessional as can be. If they don’t know why/how Cormier died then they can’t possibly know whether it was or wasn’t connected to Breitbart’s death, and for them to say otherwise is in direct contradiction with their statement that “We are not ruling anything out.” Their job is to go where the evidence takes them. Right now they are waiting for results to the toxicology tests, and that will tell them whether foul play is likely. If so, then their job is to find out who did it and why. They can’t rule out a Breitbart connection until they know who did it and why.
The new information that Cormier himself told doctors that he thought somebody had tried to poison him - especially considering that Cormier works to figure out cause of death and so is knowledgeable about how this stuff works - adds to the suspicious nature of all this. Sounds like his wife is high-strung about it all too, and understandably so.
And she might have grounds for a lawsuit against the doctors - if they let him leave the hospital when he had said he thought he had been poisoned and they thought he had a perforated bowel. Especially if he had also worn a heart monitor and all that history was in his medical record. The day after they released him he ended up going back to the hospital and had 3 heart attacks. Not exactly what a person would expect if his vomiting and diarrhea was from an untreated (because the doctors released him without checking it out) perforation of the bowel.
Unless these reporters screwed up the facts about the doctors who attended Cormier (which is a distinct possibility, given the other inaccuracies in the article), the competence and/or diligence of the doctors is questionable.
We’ll never know what really happened. The medical evidence inventory is manipulable so that whatever photos of Andrew Breitbart were taken and by whom they were taken can be falsified. And we’ve seen so many government agencies falsify records on Obama’s behalf that it would be surprising if these records WEREN’T falsified.
At this point the Breitbart people are apparently lying to us about Breitbart having had a massive heart attack last year AND about Breitbart having only one video of Obama (and that being the one they aired already). The cops aren’t doing any investigating on Cormier’s death until they have the results of the toxicology test - and by that time any leads they might have been able to find regarding who poisoned him and why will be long gone. If it was an assassination (of Breitbart and/or Cormier) the coroner’s office would deny it anyway so we have no way of knowing whether they are telling the truth or lying.
Sad state of affairs.
If Cormier was the photographer and photographed the dart entry hole then it is likely that he knew Breitbart was assassinated and that he himself would be a target as well, because he knew the truth. His behavior immediately before his death is consistent with that scenario - especially his belief that somebody had poisoned him. We’ll never know whether that really happened or not, but the behavior is consistent with it.
I hope Mrs. Cormier has good protection.
