The High Road can include saying nice things, like I hope he is okay.

Mitch said so. Nice and warm.

Just saying

This was unexpected for sure but not unrealistic at all.

And please let me add that that can also be said in Russia with the epidemic there of defenestrations and poisonings.

But all jokes aside that’s true. I just wouldn’t classify a heart attack or stroke as an illness. But that’s me.

But it could be as simple as pneumonia or something like that.

There’s either a lot more to this story or nothing at all.

and the abruptness of it, conspiracy ideas are gonna be inevitable.

be straightforward with the cause of death and end the speculation.

and unless he had an undisclosed history of coronary heart disease, reprehensible Lindsey died of a sudden heart attack..the cause is irrelevant because Trump’s ass-kissing toady is still dead..thoughts and prayers!

As Nelson Rockefeller. Except instead of a 25 year old woman …

unhappy. Covered up nicely, but the story still brings out a nasty chuckle from fans of "salacious 1970s political trivia", which I admit, I too enjoy...

I’m old. Also a native of NY State and the beneficiary of the SUNY system that Rockefeller started. Pat Moynihan and Jacob Javits were the Senators I grew up with. Back when there were still honorable Republicans. And in today’s world, Nelson would be considered a Social Democrat, except for his misguided views on recreational drugs.

was in her 60s and died in surgery when surgeons couldn't staunch the resultant brain hemorrhage. Overall, sudden may be a kinder way to go than lingering for years.

Congestive Heart Failure?

Although it's not brief and sudden, he may have had it. People can have it for decades, but maybe it caused his cardiac arrest last night?

A serious question for the medical types around the board...what's the difference. Not looking for conspiracies or anything but it just seems like a difference without distinction.

Is there some political reason its better (if that's possible) to die of a brief and sudden illness that to announce that he died of a heart attack of a cardiac arrest?

This has caused my eyebrow to be raised.

Unless you die in some kind of comprising situation.

Everyone knows what a heart attack is, but fewer people know about DVTs and P.E's, which can happen after long plane flights. And a P.E. can damage the heart or cause a stroke.

They might not know exactly how he died unless they do an autopsy.

He was just on a very long airplane ride. It's pretty easy to put two and two together.

We have a winner!

Just returning from a long flight is the key. A pulmonary embolism checks all the boxes. Not a shockable rhythm, it’s why he needed immediate transport.

I think, technically, a pulmonary embolism’s symptoms are nearly identical to a “cardiac arrest”. Defibrillator usually detects the difference in electrical rhythm. (From a retired EMT)

and never knew she had it.

It was sudden and unexpected.

He seemed in shape but not "combat-ready". All of the sudden the body is in stressful situations. Sad.

I know there are many of us who happen to have had symptoms that we heeded which made us long term medical issue sufferers rather than sudden medical event victims if you will.

There are many people who never have a sign before the Big One.

that DC Emergency Services desponded to a cardiac “event” at his house on Capitol Hill. I don’t know if he died or at the hospital.

i think it was probably just a heart attack. Years of stress from selling his soul and from travel.

One never knows however.

Who are we talking about?

PER-AYYYYZZZZZE Jesus if this is true!!!

Conspiracy me can't help but think now is the time for Russia to poison Ukraine supporters in this country. Our intelligence and federal law enforcement (excluding ICE) has been gutted.

DVT after extended plane ride.

But just a thought, could be anything.

That's my opinion. Just ask Ivana for confirmation.

i wonder how many video discs fit in there?

You saw it in his television appearnaces and odd behavior

I've seen it up close and personal. The body can only take so much abuse.

For a 71 year old man who's out of shape, heavy drinking is deadly.

The wars, the temperatures of global warming, the anger and scheming, the paranoia, the travel, the infighting, the greed.

This is not a relaxed and tolerant space, and no one is getting any younger.

He rose high in life and deserves the respect of office, I suppose. But to me he was just misguided.

“Extended Illness” is cancer.

Simplifies pathology to save time for readers.

Either the family wants privacy, or they're not definitively sure what caused the death yet and just want to get a notification out there.

Another common acute illness included in this verbiage is pneumonia. Sepsis, too.

Sudden illness is generally just a euphemism for unexpectedly. Usually to signal they weren't secretly suffering from some undisclosed issue. Like sometimes how an actor or whomever has cancer that's been kept from the public (i.e. when Alan Rickman died).

Edit: Dying suddenly at 71 isn't a crazy event. As the other poster noted, he just returned from a long trip. Maybe DVT.

I suspect that in the end, more truths will come out. All the things that LG wanted to keep secret (whatever they may have been) and all the things that his handlers and blackmailers were using against him to keep him in control and make sure that he toed the line. It will be interesting to see how this develops and how long it takes for the truth to bubble up to the top of the LG cesspool of lies.

So SC Senate seat looking good now ?

🤔

If you are MAGA, please die.
