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.

Yep.
The story on Drude right now is that he walked into The Brentwood a little over 2 hours before he died. He talked with someone at the bar for 2 hours and they exchanged contact info.
Breitbart walked out and died around an hour later.
I work right down the street from The Brentwood and grew up in Bel Air and Brentwood so I know the area very well as you do. We know the very nice homes start just 1/2 block north of The Brentwood and spread out west and east. Not so much south.
If he walked there, it might explain why he was walking around midnight not wanting to drink for 2 hours and drive.
See post 82 ... it may explain the walking issue.
Breitbart goes for a quiet midnight stroll by himself, and there's a witness who actually sees him the very second he collapses from a fatal heart attack.
Where Nicole lived was far from The Brentwood (bar) is. I’m assuming Breitbart lived in the better area .... just north of The Brentwood bar.
Did he walk to the bar to avoid drinking for 2 hours and driving?
BTW, the bomb squad has just been called to Limbaugh's house...
Well said!
RIP, Andrew.
From what I remember, a terrorist copilot flipped it upside down and dove it straight into the Atlantic.
Bomb threats are a dime a dozen ...
You mentioned Nicole’s condo. Have you ever been to her building on Bundy? If you have, you know it is on a winding very dark patch of Bundy. The front of the building before her gate is wall to wall plants and trees. Who would see the murder in dense trees and bushes is pitch black light!
Breitbart. He drank at the bar for 2 hours straight. How did the killers get him outside and walking? How did the cause a heart attack? I think some people LOVE conspiracies.
And the family says he has a history of heart problems.
I know I was crushed when my only sibling, my brother, died alone at home of a heart attack at age 43 almost 20 years ago.
Perfectly said. That's exactly what he did so well.
Why aren't more of us unafraid to do so?
Damn. This sucks....
bfl
Thanks for the info. I was looking to see if he was out walking a dog or something. Plus, I didn’t catch that he was at The Brentwood. I thought he was at home and took a walk. Makes more sense now.
[Did he explain what new material he had to you?]
I just knew Breitbart from the work I did on Harry Reid and he helped there. I bumped into him at two or three Tea Party events, had some phone calls with him and his staff. He is my inspiration for what I have to do going forward.
That is young for a woman, glad you made it OK. Genetics can play a big role in what we get and what we don’t seem to get..You like my son #2 had a birth deformaty that was inside and not outside the body. He has only 2 coronary arteries, but according to tests, is small arteries are growing.
He was such a delight, the Irish call these rare individuals ‘a lovely man’. AB was a lovely man’ He could light up a room instantly with primarily self deprecating humor. I don’t think we’ll ever see the entire package of tapes AB had in his possession. I really feel sorry for Suzi and the children. Growing up without a father is a bum deal. Pray for them all please!
Good that your son at least knows that he has a problem. Up here in Oregon, we just recently had a couple of young high school athletes who dropped dead. They had no known heart defect. One was able to be defibrillated, but he’s got a long road before he recovers completely, if ever. The other boy unfortunately did not survive.
My son with only 2 coronary arteries played foot ball all through school and as a junior was playing varsity...ran track and the 4 man relay from his high school (he and 3 of his buddies) went on to state meet, didn’t win there. Never showed anything up until his 40’s....He had no other heart problems tho at that time and we didn’t know about his arteries until he had a test done with the dye (forget what its called, senior moment, I am sorry) and it showed up. I was grateful when my 2 oldest ones passed their fathers age when he died...he also had no cardiac history, just died in the back yard sitting beside his truck while we were putting up hay..he left the barn because of the dust from the hay coming off the elevator and the rest of us finished and found him. He didn’t say he had chest pain, the idiot, we would have stopped and taken him to emergency...
I nagged my kids from that time on to watch out for their health, they were all married except one....
