How did Andrew Breitbart die?

I couldn't remember precisely, so I reviewed it on his wiki page. He was 43 and had a heart attack some time before the cardiac event (heart failure) that took his life.

It was March 2012, and there were conspiracy theories about Obama offing him and an L.A. county forensic tech (who did not work on AB's autopsy).

I can't help but wonder if Bannon got him out of his way. Not likely, but knowing what Bannon is now, I wondered.

AB's hatefulness llayed a part in his heart disease.

But I have no doubt that if AB was in the way, Bannon or a KGB/FSB agent would have found a way to do him in.

Maybe his death investigation should be looked at again.

When I heard Andrew died I assumed the cocaine had caught up with him. He was quite fond of blow.

and heart failure, according to the wiki entry.

It still wouldn't surprise me if coke played a big part.

"Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy usually is inherited. It's caused by a change in some of the genes in heart muscle proteins. HCM also can develop over time because of high blood pressure or aging. Diseases such as diabetes or thyroid disease can cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy."

He was running around one of the Occupy camps yelling, "Stop raping people!" just before his end.

None of these alt right turds look healthy to me, they must hate veggies and exercise as much as they hate minorities and women.
