Andrew Breitbart collapsed while walking near Brentwood home

Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart collapsed while walking near his Brentwood home, his father-in-law said.

Sources told The Times that Breitbart was rushed to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center about midnight, where he was pronounced dead of natural causes. No further details were available.

His father-in-law, actor Orson Bean, told the Associated Press that a neighbor saw Breitbart fall and called paramedics. Bean also said Breitbart had suffered from heart problems in the past.

I heard the same about his heart condition ... may very well be the result of natural causes.

Just can’t get past the coincidences of soon to be released Obama college tapes, dinner with Bill and Bernadine, walking alone at midnight ... after rather recent death threats. He made quite a few enemies; SEIU, ACORN, Weiner, Sherrod et al ... this list goes on.

LMAO @ you.

Nothing at all to say to the couple hundred other posters here who aren’t buying Big Media’s IMMEDIATE cause of death?

Got a problem with ME for some wierd/strange reason?

Words fail me. My sense of loss is overwhelming. Our loss is overwhelming.

Just heard Orson Bean was his father in law. I did not know that. Prayers for his family.

“Please stop with the conspiracy theories.”

The problem with conspiracy theories these days is that most of them are true. You really think that the Kenyan would not stoop this low?

1. He'd just happen to go for a stroll at around midnight?
2. There would be somebody who not only saw him out walking, but saw him at the exact moment he collapsed?

I know I only live in San Diego but, it is not a usual thing to take a walk in CA at midnight...even for L.A.

I first thought these two points you made were very odd things to have occurred. If anything, that is an hour you especially do not want to be out walking, even in Brentwood...unless you're out walking your dog. I've heard no mention of that so I think it's odd. FWIW

“Yeah, that and the EgyptAir crash from a few years before,”

That pilot’s “Allahu Akbar” was OBVIOUSLY taken out of context.

Heard an interview with his FIL Orson Bean last year. Sounded like a pretty neat guy.

That’s just weird wording. Nowadays they say things like “apparent heart attack” or “apparent severe stroke”, etc. Hospitals don’t say “natural causes”. I don’t get it.

It would be insane not to do an autopsy..It is very unusual for a younger person to drop dead of a heart attack. Andrew was viciously hated by the left as we can see from their evil, disgusting tweets. I will not post here what I first thought when I heard he had died. Who on earth would want to have a twitter account with the likes of those who seem to dominate it?

I lived in Brentwood. I’d like to know roughly where he lived because there are private rural areas or others more public, like near San Vicente.

ONE poster here adamantly and aggressively believes Big Media’s immediately reported cause of death, so that should be good enough for the rest of us “conspiracy theorists.”

Men, don’t ignore your health, your not superman,

Not only men. I was a seemingly healthy, 47-year old woman when I had a heart attack and went into cardiac arrest (twice, in the ambulance - thank God for the EMTs who defibrillated me).

I had NO known heart problems, NO family history (they all get cancer), didn't smoke, wasn't overweight, and exercised regularly. Turns out I have a congenitally deformed left anterior descending artery that either went into spasm, or had a blood clot (the angiogram wasn't able to determine the definite cause).

The sniper troll sees a couple hundred people posting the same thing and focuses on JUST ONE POSTER and talks down to that ONE POSTER and pats himself on the back and leaves.

Orson Bean was his father-in-law?

Bean was just this afternoon featured on a re-run of THE CLOSER.

How awful for Breitbart’s family. I’ll never believe this wasn’t murder, no matter what he report.
