This is on Big Journalism.com, which is Andrew Breitbart's site: A report that the pugnacious founder of conservative websites BigJournalism.com and BigHollywood.com has passed away of natural causes at the age of 43.
Breitbart has done so many outrageous things to attract publicity, the first reaction of many people—including us—was to wonder whether this was yet another stunt. But others are beginning to confirm it.
This is not completely confirmed, although Ben Howe -- whose twitter bio states that he does podcasts and videos with Brietbart.com has tweeted out an independent confirmation.
Matt Drudge -- with whom Breitbart used to work -- is also linking to the story.
The Daily Caller has obtained confirmation as well.

Shock. Proof that life is so short and that enemy death is always right at the door.
He stood up for what is good, right and the truth. You always know what is the truth when you are relentlessly persecuted. May he rest in peace.
Sean Hannity just said on Fox that he had heart issues about a year ago....
I suspect foul play. A political assassination perhaps. In this environment, I would not rule it out. He had something on Obama it seems. a) Autopsy needed; b) Obama college tape(s) release required, protected at the very least and copied en masse if they do exist and have powerful contents.

Yes. I actually went to Drudge against my better judgment.
They are calling him a “teaparty martyr.” Conspiracy theories abound. He had the goods on President Obama & his corrupt administration. Nothing would surprise me.

This is stunning. Are liberals smiling yet?!
Heart disease may run in a family, and murder (yes I said it) is a tool that this administration uses as it wishes.
For me this is a confirmation. Andrew has recently said certain things that show me that this was NOT natural at all.
I’m just really shocked about this.
The conspiracy theorists in me asks, is this to control the news cycle on the day Arpaio has set for his press conference? Is this coincidental two weeks after announcing he has college video of the one and on the same day as this press conference? It’s so shocking and such a huge loss we know Andrew will receive the headlines not whatever Arpaio announces.
I don’t know. What a freakin’ loss. I’m just stunned right now with all of these things running through my head. I mean 43 years old. I know it happens but I also know that it doesn’t. I just don’t know what to think.
I feel for his family, friends and staff. He will be missed. His boldness will be missed.
Hannity is on FOX now and says he had heart issues. It will be very interesting though to see what the autopsy says.
I'm absolutely certain that the comments will be charitable.
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."
NSA = Sudden and deadly stroke
Hannity said he had heart issues.
And, my very own brother died at 43 of a heart attack.
I lost both my nephew and a good friend at around the same age; heart attack and stroke. They’re saying on FOX he had some heart problems.

He was walking and collapsed. ‘Someone’ saw him and called 911. He was walking at midnight???? Was he meeting someone, did he have a lead to something? I find that strange in itself!
