REPORT: Conservative Media Mogul Andrew Breitbart Is Dead

Bus Insider ^ | 3/1/2012 | Joe Weisenthal

This is on Big Journalism.com, which is Andrew Breitbart's site: A report that the pugnacious founder of conservative websites BigJournalism.com and BigHollywood.com has passed away of natural causes at the age of 43.

Breitbart has done so many outrageous things to attract publicity, the first reaction of many people—including us—was to wonder whether this was yet another stunt. But others are beginning to confirm it.

This is not completely confirmed, although Ben Howe -- whose twitter bio states that he does podcasts and videos with Brietbart.com has tweeted out an independent confirmation.

Matt Drudge -- with whom Breitbart used to work -- is also linking to the story.

The Daily Caller has obtained confirmation as well.

Never been a conspiracy nut but all the FEMA crap the color list of who's going to be killed seems so much more Plausible now with the commie rats in this country.. Scary times..

I’ve been busy catching up on pages of pings since I’m not here a lot, so I read the first brief reports about Breitbart this morning but not much since then.

I figured something had to have drawn him outside at that time of night, thought of a ‘private’ cell phone call. I hope they check his body over for a tiny pinprick. There’s not much I doubt anymore.....

OMG! I had no idea about things like that. That’s scary stuff. :(

The brevity and finality of the announcement is at once disturbing.

And how.

He tweeted, SB?

Was he alone when walking? Who has verified the ‘heart problems’? Was he being treated?

Was he alone when walking? Did he trip or fall? Who saw this? Did that person go to help him? Did Breitbart have security? WHERE WAS IT if so?

Where did he die? There? There was a story that he had come back home. What was the time of death? Was he in an ambulance? Where was the death pronounced? Did he arrive at a hospital? Did someone administer CPR?

Where was his family?

When was the Hugh Hewitt interview? The Arpaio interview last night, per Corsi?

Watch Breitbart sites on Monday. Something being released the left won’t like.

I wish I knew the answers to these questions. All I have heard today on our local news is that he went for a “Walk” at midnight, collapsed, was transported to UCLA and pronounced dead. Someone having a heart attack at his age, depending on family history, is not rare, but I just can’t see someone like Andrew, who was a target of the left for years, for him to walk alone at midnight. Andrew tweeted everyday, his last tweet was around 11pm last night..I loved following his tweets, he was a wonderful human being. His legacy will never be forgotten, never..we will continue his work

<He was walking at midnight????

Why not? He was probably busy all day. We belong to a 24 hr gym so we can go when we have the time. My late husband, a VN vet who died at 40, frequently walked at night. My son and I walk late at night in the summer.

There’s nothing strange about it, unless you live in a bad neighborhood. In which case, you are more likely to get killed than to drop dead.

May he now rest in peace.

Thanks Bitt. He will be missed.

I’m way late to this thread and maybe it’s been posted, but I read on another thread that Breitbart’s FIL, when the heart problem issue was mentioned, knew nothing of any previous or recent heart problems. You’d think he’d know if his daughter’s husband had serious health problems or any kind of heart problems.
