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.

Nobody will ever convince me otherwise

Wow. What a loss. RIP, Mr. Breitbart.

I just went to the website through a link from Drudge and am shocked... How terrible. Such a young man. His poor family...

Breitbart is the reason Acorn was taken down. No one wanted to touch O’keefe’s expose.

[Pharmboy]

While it is certainly not unheard of for a 40-something to die of a massive heart attack (myocardial infarction), there should be a family history of similar things or, some lab indications of untoward risk. Not absolute, but usually there are these things...at any rate, this is a bit scary, and Rush, Sean and Mark: I hope you all are taking extra security precautions these days.

Kam Kuwata died of natural causes too.

Same here .. color me tinfoil but 'silenced' wouldn't surprise me in the least, given the traitor usurper @ 1600

Smells like Vince Foster . . .

[esquirette]

He crowed at CPAC about his poop on the Great One. We want to know if his house was searched.

Watch Andrew Breitbart’s Fiery CPAC Speech: I Have ‘College Days’ Obama Videos

EXCERPT

... “I have videos, this election we’re going to vet him,” Breitbart disclosed to raucous applause. “We are going to vet him from his college days to show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008.”

“The videos are going to come out, the narrative is going to come out, that Barack Obama met a bunch of silver ponytails in the 1980s, like Bill (Ayers) and Bernadine (Dohrn), who said one day we would have the presidency, and the rest of us slept as they plotted, and they plotted, and they plotted and they oversaw hundreds of millions of dollars in the Annenberg Challenge and they had real money, from real capitalists. Then they became communists. We got to work on that. That is a parenthesis. Barack Obama is a radical, we should not be afraid to say that! Okay? And Barack Obama was launched from Bill and Bernadine’s salon. I’ve been there.”

F**K THOSE TWISTED, PERVERTED, HATEFUL FREAKS OF NATURE.

They are the evil that stalks America and they will reap their own reward.

The notice is now on Drudge and Redstate...

Condolences to his family; he will be missed.

He was such a voice for the conservative cause and he wasn’t afraid of the other side.

I must say I was suspicious of the “natural causes” for his death especially after he stated he had videos of Obama from college he would be releasing.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I differ with you on that. You should read the unanimous vile and hate coming from the Left right now. It is beyond disgusting!

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

I think Holder’s idea of witness protection for Andrew is complete.

[mplsconservative]

I’m shocked! He was one of my heroes. RIP Andrew.

[stylecouncilor]

A terrible loss on our side.

May he rest in eternal peace

IT’S UP ON AB’S SIGHT RIGHT NOW,
Prayers up!

[skeeter]

We have our low lifes over here too.

I don't think there's any comparison. The left is vile.

[redgolum]

Sad to hear this.

Wonder if there will be an autopsy.
