Daniel Bennett, brother of former Rep. Katie Hill, found dead in Los Angeles

he younger brother of former Democratic Rep. Katie Hill has been found dead in his Southern California home.

Hill — who resigned from Congress last year — remembered her brother Daniel Brett Bennett on Sunday as a young man with “so much promise.”

“Yesterday my brother Danny – a young man who overcame so much in his short life with so much promise ahead – passed away,” Hill wrote.

“My heart is breaking & I’ll miss him forever. Prayers for our family in this impossibly difficult time would be appreciated.”

Bennett, 20, was found unresponsive at his home in Santa Clarita, California, on Saturday, according to the Santa Clarita Valley Signal.

A cause of death was not released. Police appeared to rule out foul play.

Hill resigned amid allegations of an affair.

She admitted to being in a relationship with her estranged husband and a former female campaign worker.

Hill has also been accused of having an affair with a former legislative director, which she has denied.

The scandal led to the release of embarrassing photos of the congresswoman, which she said was revenge porn leaked by her estranged husband.

The husband, Kenny Heslep, claims he was hacked.

Hill resigned amid allegations of an affair.

"Allegations"?

Probably drug overdose. Unfortunately.

Absent other facts or evidence of external trauma, that's the most likely.

Nancy was VERY QUICK to get rid of her, especially given that she lived the lifestyle of the Democrat base.

Perhaps she knew a bit more about her and her family than the rest of us know.

It’s strange that she had to resign even though I don’t agree with her politics.

Can someone explain why this RAT resigned from Congress? Was it so she could run for President? It seems like she is highly qualified based on DNC criteria.

Rehab is a racket. $30,000 and they clean you up for a month, then set you loose and tell you to go to AA or NA. Then it’s see you again in six months.

Rehabs are horrible. It’s all about sticking it to the insurance companies.

Remember when politicians at least had to pretend to be respectable?

Typical Dem hypocrites. Tell others how to live while being total hypocrites in your own life. ( I’m talking about Hill, not her brother)
