Is "too much cocaine and speed" a "natural cause" of death these days?

1. I just can't bring myself to feel bad for Breitbart. He was nothing but a hate-monger.

[southernyankeebelle]

2. I feel bad for his family.

[backscatter712]

6. For all we know, his family may have hated his guts too...

12. Maybe, but Orson Bean is Breitbart's father in law

and he was blacklisted as a Communist during the HUAC nightmare and then was a conservative.

He supported Proposition Hate.

[southernyankeebelle]

21. Really Orson Bean was his father-in-law? Gosh you learn something new everyday.

I think Brite fart was bitter because he really wanted to be one of hollywoods elites. It didn't turn out that way for him.

[southernyankeebelle]

20. Well I won't go that far just yet.

[Demonaut]

11. he liked Stevie Wonder

I just made that up

[roguevalley]

23. I remember hearing that cocaine use weakens the veins in your brain and around your heart.

you can drop dead out of the blue without notice from that.

[HopeHoops]

3. Only if you throw in a whole bottle of cheap vodka.

[unblock]

4. i heard he died from a strain of syphilis found only in goats.

i also heard his blood showed signs of meth, crack, heroin, methanol, and fecal matter

or maybe he just overdosed on bile.

i'll wait for the coronor's report to determine what did him in first.

[brer cat]

5. Yep

Both can cause fatal cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats).

[Major Hogwash]

7. Only to a Faux Snooze devotee. Or a Limbaugh fan.

Man, Limbaugh is going to have to wear two sets of Depends today if he keeps this up for much longer.
Being this upset about poor widdle Brietbart kicking the bucket so quick.
He's squirming in his chair like it is covered with Astroglide.
He's all over the place today.
Sort of Santorumy, if you know what I mean.
He's waving his arms like he is stuck on an island and he's trying to flag down a passing oceanliner.

8. Perhaps he went for a walk around midnight with his father-in-law to calm him down after one of his

"rants gone wild." Who knows? He could have been high/drunk and Orson just wanted him out of the house. It will all come out.. Adjusting the tinfoil now..

9. My guess is apoplectic seizure/stroke

He always struck me as a rather disheveled/unkempt/ratty, hyper sort of person. Perhaps his health care was disheveled as well.. Most times, he looked af if he were about to burst into flame.

[Ikonoklast]

19. He looked like he never showered.

No matter what time of the day, he had two days' worth of beard stubble, would always be sweating profusedly, and wore rumpled clothes.

I bet he smelled really, really bad.

[anti-alec]

10. Drug overdose.. sure

and I'm taking 3 to 1 odds that it's a speedball.

[The Doctor.]

13. After too much cocaine and speed,

Naturally, one might die.

[SidDithers]

14. Good question...

Sid

[riverwalker]

15. looks jacked up in this video

on some pharmaceutical substance. Sweating profusely, nervous, twitching, itching, shifting stance. Does not look like a healthy 43 year old man, looks 20 years older. His blood toxicology will be interesting.

[originalpckelly]

16. Hey you, it was all natural cocaine.

See, natural causes.

[The Backlash Cometh]

17. Has it been confirmed that he was taking cocaine?

At the time of death?

I suppose, to protect the image of the conservative movement, they will fight to keep that detail out of the news,

[pokerfan]

18. 43? WTF?

Honestly, he always had that aging baby boomer look to him. I would have placed him in his early sixties.

[anti-alec]

22. Meth's a hell of a drug...

The #1 drug of choice for Republicans, apparently.

[hughee99]

24. Only if you're an overweight commedian. n/t
