LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -- The L.A. County Coroner says conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart died of a heart attack stemming from coronary disease.
Breitbart, whose posting of a sexually explicit photo of U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner led to the congressman's downfall, died in March.
Coroner spokesman Craig Harvey said Friday that a negligible amount of alcohol was found in Breitbart's system but no prescription or illicit drugs.
Harvey says foul play is not suspected and the case has been closed.

So he died.
Alright.
Now the 'kissing the devil' and 'playing with fire' stories need to spring up.

I am talking medical, you are talking politics.
Men at his age shoud have a good physical. If this was a massive attack it was and that is that, there is also a chance he was feeling under the weather for a few weeks, but like most men decided against seeing a doctor.
His death should be a reason to get a check up.
I know, hard to fathom but not everything is a war or political.

(15,666 posts)was probably conducive to a heart attack, just like many men of that age. In fact, in the footage I saw of him, he was red-faced and bloated. Definitely in need of a physical.

(154,021 posts)It plays a role, but not as much as people think.
I come from a family where men literally fell dead...Yup my 42 year old uncle I never met stood from lunch, took two steps, and was dead before he hit the floor. From press reports that is what happened here, switch lunch for alcohol.
These days we all have familial hyperlipidemia, the actual reason for Zocor... Lifestyle had buckus to do with it. Genes on the other hand...and yes statins are over prescribed IMHO.
Why a physical helps.
PSA momemt, men that flu that just don't go away, might be something else. That lack of energy... Please take warning.
