Big shock here. Died of natural causes at age 43. http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/ He was known for exposing the liberal left to the mainstream via his various websites.

Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.

We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.

Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.
Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:
I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and—famously—I enjoy making enemies.

Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I’ve lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I’ve gained hundreds, thousands—who knows?—of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.

Andrew is at rest, yet the happy warrior lives on, in each of us.
 
Wow just wow! He was one of the best guys to get a truthful report on things I ever saw. I loved to hear his opinion on things going on in America. Dang this world is getting crazy anymore.:flowers:
 
Died of natural causes at 43? WTF is wrong with that picture !! :glare: Yet they investigate deaths of the likes of Whitney Housten, Michael Jackson & other overpaid @%&*. Call me what you want but I call bullshit on Natural Causes. :doh:

At any rate RIP Andrew & my condolences to family and friends. :flowers:
 
He did have some prior cardiac issues. A major loss to those who believed government was getting out of control.

I would have simi;ar supicions. This seems a little too convenient.

What do you mean Franc?
Breightbart is responsible for outing the ACORN scandals.

He also outed Planned parenthood on racism.
Breighbart has uncovered more scandals in the Progressive movement than any news organiztion operating today. His investigative journalism makes John Stossel look like a patsy.

I'm willing to bet he was on to something and his heart condition was "convenient." That's not conspiracy thinking, that's just a prudent question given the situation.

Questionable source no doubt, but interesting none the less. You just cant discount the timing IMO. :unsure:

Michael Savage: Was Breitbart assassinated?


Noting that the cause of Andrew Breitbart’s unexpected death yesterday was being examined by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office, talk-radio host Michael Savage raised the question of whether the conservative media powerhouse – who recently announced he had videos that could politically damage President Obama – was murdered.
On his top-rated show today, Savage played an audio clip of Breitbart telling an audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington last month that he had obtained videos that shed light on Obama’s ties to radicals in the early 1980s who helped propel him to the presidency.

Breitbart died hours before planned release of damning Obama footage

Damn, the government is getting good. :sad:
Or maybe the coronor was just sloppy, isnt there a drug that also causes "heart attack" symptoms with very little trace unless you specifically look for it? :unsure:

Or have I just watched to many episodes of "Quincy". :whistling:

Well, if he did, if the coronor was "sloppy" that might explain this!!!!!

If memory serves, a large dose of insulin injected into a non-diabetic will trigger a heart attack. If the injector can
arrange to delay a medical exam of the injectee for several hours, the body itself disposes of the murder "weapon". Some of the
medical folks on here can jump in now; it's been a long time since I heard about this.

 
I know a large dose of insulin induces vomiting in non diabetics. That is how they treat someone who has food lodged in their throat.
 
I'm not aware of large insulin doses being a causative factor in heart attacks and I've never heard of insulin being used to treat someone with food lodged in their throat.

Regarding insulin and heart attacks, there is definitely a causative link to chronic elevated blood insulin levels and coronary artery disease leading to heart attack but I'm unaware of heart attack induced by insulin injection. There is no doubt that an insulin overdose can kill but it does so by depriving the brain of the needed glucose leading to coma and if untreated, death. Heart stoppage is a result of brain death in these cases. In Breitbart's case, were his glucose levels low, EMS would have administered IV dextrose and stabilized his blood sugar. He would have to have been unconscious and untreated for a lengthy period of time to have died from low blood sugar.

An intravenous injection of potassium chloride is lethal and quickly. It causes the heart to seize up. It is used in the lethal injection cocktail used for executions. On autopsy, elevated potassium levels might be suspicious in the absence of kidney dysfunction. Insulin is actually used to treat elevated potassium levels in the blood by pushing the potassium into the cell.

The use of insulin to induce vomiting does not make sense to me as, for one thing, the rapid lowering of blood glucose levels would be extremely dangerous and then their is risk of aspiration of gastric contents. Food lodged in the airway is treated with heimlich maneuvers. If the airway remains obstructed despite heimlich thrusts and the person becomes unresponsive then resuscitative efforts via CPR are initiated. Emergency tracheotomy may be necessary and bronchosopy to retrieve the foreign body. Upper airway obstructions that don't respond to heimlich thrusts are often deadly.

Plenty of meds have nausea and vomiting as side effects but I am unaware of any injectable med used specifically to induce vomiting. In treatment of drug overdoses, vomiting is not induced. Usually activated charcoal is given to absorb the ingested drug/chemical. Vomiting is not routinely induced in emergency medicine and it is usually poison control that directs the physicians regarding when induction of vomiting is required. Induction methods include ipecac syrup, salted water and manual stimulation of the gag reflex.

If you have links to the use of insulin as an emergency medication to induce vomiting or insulin injection induced heart attacks, I'd like to see them. That is interesting.
 
I don't have a link but watched them give the wife a shot several different times for food stuck that she could not swallow or eject. Then she has to go get her throat stretched. It is a genetic thing as I have witnessed it in her mom and 2 of her brothers have the same problem. I think the drug was called glucagon? I know it works within minutes and causes violent puking.

There was a book written on the subject; Amazon is currently selling it: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Insulin-Murders-Vincent-Marks/dp/1853157600"]Amazon.com: Insulin Murders (9781853157608): Vincent Marks, Caroline Richmond: Books[/ame]

 
Glucagon makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

No doubt murder has been commited utilizing insulin. I'm not disputing that it kills. I'm just saying it's mechanism of action doesn't trigger a heart attack but it induces coma because it causes a drop in blood glucose to a level insufficient to maintain normal brain function and if not corrected quickly, results in death.

I was thinking that it was a coronary event, but obviously that wasn't right. As noted, it's been years since that info was
presented and my memory isn't always sound. :sad:
