Louisiana Rep.-elect Luke Letlow, who died while battling COVID-19, suffered a heart attack following a procedure, a hospital official said.

The 41-year-old was receiving treatment in the intensive care unit at Ochsner LSU Health in Shreveport when he died Tuesday, the Monroe News-Star reported.

LSU Health Shreveport Chancellor G.E. Ghali confirmed Letlow underwent an operation related to the virus and later went into cardiac arrest.

Receiving “treatment” - yeah, sure ... the Chi-commie treatment. Wanna bet his “caregivers” were Democrats?

[MHT]

Everyone posting is trying to figure out the difference between dying with the virus versus from the virus. If you are so educated, please instruct us and tell us when the recorded death numbers are honest reflections of the disease.

Condolences to his family. Very sad. Antisocial personalities, try to find a useful business to get into instead of preaching Malthusian rot.

Shove a vent down his throat and sedate him, blood clots are a common complication. Could be a surgical procedure to fix some kind of blockage?
They love vents, they think if you aren’t vented, you breathe out virus. Also they are very well compensated for any patient going on a vent. Last of course, ventilated patients are sedated and you don’t have to talk to them or explain anything to them. And of course no pesky family members can see what is going on either.

Medical misadventure has probably been responsible for most of the deaths.

I think you’re right. He might of had a blood clot that they were trying to catch with a filter. Could have been a blood clot they were trying to break up. COVID-19 causes blood clots to form.

I won’t be visiting any restaurants or tourist traps, ever. I don’t go near vice businesses anyway.

And your pretentious judgemental derision proves that you have medical or science backgrounds?

COVID is deadly in certain circumstances and can facilitate death if it infects a victim with a preexisting condition causing a comorbidity state of health.

And no... COVID has a recovery rate on average 99.98% between ages 15-65. Almost on par with influenza mortality. There are FAR deadlier risks in life then to worry about COVID.

There are more deaths caused by accidents and drug overdose, and Fentanyl in each state then death by direct result of COVID.

CDC USA FastStats Data /yr...

170k+ deaths/yr by accidents... automobiles, falls, poisonings 50-60k+ deaths/yr by influenza 1.6 mil+ deaths/yr from cigarettes/alcohol/obesity/drug abuse

You're more likely to die from an unintentional car accident between the ages of 15-65 years old then your odds would be to contract COVID and die from it. And you're almost 5x more likely to die from heart-disease or cancer if your above 65+ then dying from COVID! That makes cancer and heart disease almost 5x the mortality rate than COVID, ages 65+!

Between ages 1-15: Chances of dying from complications catching 'Influenza/pneumonia' are almost 1 in 200,000! Between the same ages, your chance of dying from COVID is 1 in 1 million! Between ages 25-55: Chance of dying from COVID are 1 in 150,000!

Why isn't anyone afraid of influenza?

Get a grip! It's a flu-like virus, not Ebola! Contracting COVID is not a death sentence. It has a 99.98% recovery rate below age 55. Wearing a mask won't change that!

You have a better chance saving your life by wearing a seat-belt then wearing a stupid mask!

So... should we stop car, cigarette, alcohol, drug and hamburger manufacture/sales to combat the 1.6 mil+ deaths/yr from cancer, obesity, diabetes, kidney/liver/heart disease, and drunk driving caused by cigarettes/alcohol/obesity/drug abuse and bad choices?

Americans kill themselves and die by the millions every year requiring no such leadership from politicians, attending church or lessons from mothers. They just accept the risks of life/death and simply live by choice, odds and fate.

It is inevitable, and will ALWAYS be that way in life.

And if you don't like the odds of death by influenza, septic shock, cancer, lung/heart/liver disease, obesity, diabetes, medical malpractice, drugs, allergies, brain eating amoebas, life's accidents, acts of God, murder, or dying from stupid choices. Your paranoia and fear is beyond clinical and the sensibility of a normal mental state. So, life is definitely not for you...

... just avoid all that crap and commit suicide. At least you did it your way.

That's life!

“Same here. It’s a badge of honor actually. For Freepers who ‘claim” after 4 YEARS of fake news /MSM lies..they then believe from that same media who lied to them for the past 4 years that people die of China Virus 100% which is mind-boggling.”

Like my 58 year old lifelong friend in prime health and fit, 180 lb 6-1 all muscle. Not a single medical issue-not even hbp, got covid and 5 days later died right before Christmas.

COVID disrupts the interior lining of the blood vessels, which have the same ACE-2 receptors that SARS-COV-2 attacks. In disrupting the interior vessel walls, SARS-COV-2 causes the release into the bloodstream of von Willebrand factor, a protein that helps blood clot, which in turn leads to stroke or heart failure.

[The Great RJ]

A review of COVID deaths in Minnesota by two state legislators found even a person who died from being ejected from a vehicle in an accident was deemed a COVID death as were suicides and deaths due to advanced dementia.
They estimated reported COVID deaths were inflated by as much as 40%

[rollo tomasi]

A cytokine storm caused by Covid can cause heart damage/arrhythmias, jeez.

[max americana]

My GF works as one of the top nurses at a distinguished hospital near Beverly Hills. Just last week, a homeless person got stabbed by another, and the death certificate was COVID. True story.

[Skywise]

What was the actual operation and its purpose?

Clearing a blood clot?

[JME_FAN]

The standard Democrat-intervention for any living creature that gets in their way - euthanasia. We are discussing those who murder unborn children in the womb, all the way up to birth; murder babies outside the womb, if they survive the abortion; euthanize the sick, the handicapped, the elderly. I would not put anything past a Democrat - because, in reality, they are godless communists, having neither morals nor ethics.

[xkaydet65]

Reread my post. It tries to provide a possible scenario. Nowhere did I say they were operating on a virus.

[Jim Noble]

Heart attacks caused by COVID are well known to anyone familiar with the disease process.

“Stupid freepers who have no medical or science backgrounds are clueless about how covid kills people. And in denial hugely about how deadly it is.”

You watch. A month after Biden is in these same folks poo-poing the virus as nothing will claim it’s much worse and the dems are covering it up and talk about how deadly it is.

I was a virus denier until recently when I saw my healthy 58 year old best friend die from it in 5 days.

I know 4-5 other virus deniers who changed their tune when they thought the was going to die or saw one of their family members die from it.

[HotHunt]

Yeah, that guy.

Vents are in widespread use. And they are dangerous, especially in the long term.

Was his surgeon a democrat?
