Autopsy conducted on conservative activist Breitbart
reuters ^ | 3/2/12 | Dan Whitcomb

(Reuters) - Coroners conducted an autopsy on the body of conservative activist Andrew Breitbart on Friday but deferred a formal finding on the cause of his death until toxicology and lab tests are completed, officials said.

Los Angeles County Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey said toxicology and microscopic tissue studies were ordered because of Breitbart's death at the relatively young age of 43.

They will take four to six weeks to complete, he said.

"It's standard procedure," Harvey said. "We have a very young man who died suddenly and unexpectedly, so we want to make sure we cover all the bases."

Well we will see.. it’s hard not to have thoughts of conspiracy on this one. Especially since his fatherinlaw said he didn’t have a heart condition.

Look for an extremely small red dot. It’s easy to miss, but that’s how they do it.

I never got to meet Andrew but losing him was like losing a brother. I hope and pray someone will keep his mission going.

I can't help myself. I'm still so sad to the point of near depression. It's so hard to accept and believe. Such promise and brilliance and love for life and goodness.

There was an autopsy done on Marilyn, too. She supposedly swallowed a bunch of Nembutals yet there were no yellow stains on the wall of her stomach, and there would have to be if she died ingesting them. There street name was yellowjackets.

But Naguchi said the death was probable suicide.

Well they have plastered it on the news that he did have
heart problems. One can always trust the news what would the parents know anyway.

The only person I’d trust to investigate this is Joe Arpaio

I am the furthest person from being a conspiracy theory nutter, but even I have suspicions of murder or foul play.

The left in this country has no shame and it wouldn’t surprise me if some left-wing thug or entity conspired to kill him.

They didn't announce any physical findings of the autopsy. If Breitbart had suffered an acute myocardial infarction, they would have in all likelihood seen something, and they probably would have reported it because such a finding would quell any suspicion of foul play. Same holds for most of the other common natural causes of sudden death.

We probably won't know much more for weeks, if even then. Wonder how much political pressure is being applied at the coroner's office. This is a Democrat-controlled jurisdiction, after all.

Did Dr. Fannie Mallek perform the autopsy?

If Obama and the Chicago Mob ordered him killed, there is zero chance that this autopsy will find anything, I’m afraid.

The Los Angeles Coroner is going to find anything that might embarrass Obama? I don’t think so. No more than the Arkansas coronor found anything suspicious about two Arkancides, one a guy who was shot twice in the back, the other a guy whose head was cut off. Both were certified as suicides.

The LA ME sent the fluid and tissue samples to the prestigious and trustworthy FBI lab in Washington where testing will be done by chief toxicologist Dr. Numbutu Ongotoguy, Magna cum shaman graduate of the world famous Kenya Kollege of Kosmotology.

Another ten years and the guy would have owned the NYTimes...and with great glee, turned it inside out.

His potential impact was unlimited. Few like him are created.

I believe under the circumsatnces if he was not under a doctors care for a condition likely to cause death an autopsy is called for.

I’m there with you.

I had a brother, who has always reminded me so much of Breitbart, who died with a heart attack in an instant (age 44). He, like AB, had four little kids. He was playing with his three little girls when he keeled over. They thought he was horsing around, as was his nature.

Anyway, part of my sadness now is reliving that horrid time 5 years ago. They did an autopsy on my brother and they knew right away it was his heart.

So, they probably know if it was or was not the heart at this point... just checking for other stuff.

Especially since his fatherinlaw said he didn’t have a heart condition.

all i've been hearing is that he had a heart condition. do you have a link with the father-in-law saying this?

if it's truly the case that he didn't have a condition... then the odds of it NOT being an assassination dropped to near 0
