Damn...my old eye this morning missed the word “staffer”...I was about to do a backflip!
Me to. Now I am depressed.

Okrent is on the internet supporting gay marriage, LGBT rights, and repeal of DADT.
I couldn’t find a declaration of his sexual preferences, only blog posts in support of the gay agenda and a gay-ish twitter account personal image.
Not a real stretch to think he might have been gay...

If it isn't arsenic poisoning ( as happened to the autopsy technician in the Breitbart case), then it is likely a brain aneurysm. It's sad but it happens sometimes to young people.

Maybe he was going to talk and the handlers didn’t have time to et him to a park bench?.

Not a real stretch to think he might have been gay... So if he was packin'...do you think he succumbed to any of a myriad of associated STDs, or was it Obamacide?

“Safe gay sex: don’t have a fling with Obama.”
Agree. The last time that I checked, 29 year olds don’t drop dead for no reason. It is extremely rare, and this guy was VERY high up in the campaign staff.
Who knows whether there was some kind of blackmail going on?

Another dead gangsta in Chicago...
Yawn.
I hope he had moved away from any kids before he hit the floor.

It's strange for someone that young to die... especially a middle class college educated person...
Statistics on death include gang bangers, killers, drug addicts, gays with aids etc. Take those folks out and the odds of death at 29 are just plain weird...

“Autopsy? Heart attack? Drug use? “
My guess is a staffer who knew too much about something.

My condolences to his family. For their sake, I hope it wasn’t behaviorally caused.
Prayers for the family are in order.

A 29 year old doesn’t just drop dead Actually, there are plenty of medical reasons why a young person would drop dead. It happens more frequently than you might think.
I certainly hope his death was from natural causes, and not from something illicit. Prayers to his family.

Remember the man who was shot in his car during zero’s 2008 campaign trail? Now there’s Alex, this makes two. Where there more deaths?
