Top Colorado Republican lawmaker died suddenly only days after turning 55, 'fiercely passionate' leader was 'adored'

Colorado House Minority Leader Hugh McKean died suddenly at his Loveland home on Sunday. He celebrated his birthday on Oct. 27, only days before his sudden death.

The Colorado House GOP caucus confirmed McKean’s "sudden" death.

"It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of House Minority Leader Hugh McKean," the official Twitter account for the Colorado House Republicans stated. "Hugh was fiercely passionate about serving the great state of Colorado and will be missed dearly."

"Hugh was fiercely passionate about two things in his extraordinary life; serving the great state of Colorado and spending time with his family, whom he adored — Aiden McKean, 21, Hanna McKean, 23, and his dearest partner and friend Amy Parks," the statement read, according to Colorado Politics.

"Hugh spoke about Coloradans not in the abstract but as real living people with jobs, loves, and real-life successes and problems," the statement continued. "Families facing hardships were not faceless pie graphs on a page to Hugh. He saw the faces of his own children, of his parents, long-time neighbors, and of Coloradans that he would always call friends. Public service wasn’t a 9-to-5 job for Hugh; he lived life believing good enough would never be enough for those who would live with the consequences of bad government."

I caught a bit of the BBC coverage the other day—very hostile to Bolsonaro (whom they referred to as the tropical Trump).

30 Oct: Australian Financial Review: Bolsonaro takes early lead in tense election runoff
by Ricardo Brito and Gabriel Stargardter
The initial vote tally showed Mr Bolsonaro with 51.5 per cent of votes compared with 48.5 per cent for Mr Da Silva with 20.8 per cent of voting machines counted, although his leftist Workers Party tends to be stronger in regions that are slower to report results.

Post-election concerns
Brazil’s electoral authorities are preparing for a narrow result, which Mr Bolsonaro may contest if he loses...

smiling Aljazeera now saying “what a remarkable win for Lula”.

funny how mentioning Lula’s imprisonment for corruption is no longer taboo.

It couldn't be vaccination or booster--Biden has assured us that they are perfectly safe.

It was probably the high elevation. Loveland is officially 4982 ft above sea level and for all we know his house could be above 5000 ft.

A true tragedy. May have nothing to do with vaccination. Goodness - there appear to be so many “sudden deaths”. All that aside, I know many young people who regret taking an experimental medication in the last year.

Still have not found a young person who truly regrets not participating in this large human trial of a new drug injected into their veins.

Sigh......

Relax. The two things weren’t ranked, they were listed. Some copywriter’s construction has nothing to do with the person’s life.

It would have been a much deadlier death if he had not been vaxxed.

meanwhile, in Brazil, according to Aljazeera’s brief mention, Bolsonaro was in the lead, his supporters celebrating, but then Lula overtook him, and count is now basically over, waiting for Bolsonaro to concede.

I’ll wait to hear more on cause of death. Often when deaths are announced in that way they turn out to be suicides, and the suicide rate is up too, though it’s been going up for decades. Middle-aged white men have the highest rate of suicide.

There will never be another straight election worldwide. Brazil joined the BRICS and that would not be allowed.

Nope. He’s antivaxx. Hated all vaccines like on here. He had a heart attack like many do every year.
