Houseguest Suffers Fatal Heart Attack at Former President Bush's Summer Home in Maine

An 81-year-old houseguest suffered a fatal heart attack at the summer home of former President George H.W. Bush.

John C. Jansing, the husband of Bush's cousin Shelley Bush Jansing, was taken by paramedics late Tuesday to the emergency room at Southern Maine Medical Center in Biddeford. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.

"Jack was a wonderful man," the former president said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and their three children. Barbara and I will miss him terribly."

The Jansings lived in Harbor Springs, Mich., and Hobe Sound, Fla.

Condolences to the family.. that must’ve been frightening. A few FReepers were visiting in Kennebunkport yesterday, and were close enough to see the compound and Barbara Bush at the boat dock.

It is always sad to loose a friend or family member to death...and more tragic to watch it happen. Condolences to the Bush family in their loss. Thanks for ping starwise

Just wondering - it's always been customary to refer to ex-Presidents as "President Bush", or "President Carter", as if the title still applied.

I wonder how many times they've referred to "former President Clinton".

Of course, it could have something to do with the TWO Presidents Bush, and not a dig by a biased, hateful, conniving press moron. Ya never know.

And media hacks aren’t always malicious. Sometimes hacks are just being hacks.

Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they’re NOT all out to get me. :-)

I have no proplem to refer to President Bush 41 as President Bush, however to me Clinton is Billy Jeff, and Carter is the peanut farmer from Georgia

Condolences to the family.

But, while indeed a guest at the home...ah...in my book he would be family. They make this sound like a stranger was visiting them?
