Kinda shocked she hasn’t spoken out on this
Maybe a very private person.
There was speculation that he had a disease where iron builds up in the heart and since many of Irish extraction (Breitbart was adopted but I believe was of Irish roots) get it, it’s
called “the Celtic Curse”. That came up here on Hot Air and reproduced here on FR.
Cane_loader first quotes another post:
>> That indignation came to Breitbart in mid-life. A bluff Irishman who had been adopted as a baby by a Jewish couple in Brentwood (one of L.A.’s tonier neighborhoods), he moved to the right in college, at Tulane University in New Orleans, and crossed over completely with the Clarence Thomas hearings (etc.)
Then Cane_loader says:
-—My suspicions grow that Breitbart may have had undiagnosed hereditary hemochromatosis. It almost killed me. Its #1 marker is young, unexpected death by heart attack. Called the “Celtic Curse,” the highest incidence in the world is found in Irish men – 1 of 83 have this genetic iron-poisoning disorder that is 100% fatal if not caught. Average age of diagnosis is 41. I was diagnosed at 41 and it almost killed me. My heart was majorly malfunctioning.
Before he is laid to rest, they really do need to do a DNA test for hemochromatosis, for his kids’ sake.
