Andrew Breitbart's death to be reviewed by L.A. County coroner
LA Times ^ | March 1, 2012 | Staff Report

Posted on 03/01/2012 9:47:30 AM PST by Beaten Valve

The Los Angeles County coroner's office will review the death of conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who collapsed and died Thursday while taking a nighttime walk near his Westwood home.

Given his young age -- he was 43 -- and the unexpected manner in which he died, authorities will conduct an autopsy to help determine a specific cause of death.

Breitbart's father-in-law, actor Orson Bean, said in an interview with The Times that Breitbart was found collapsed near his home about 12:30 a.m. Paramedics took him to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, but doctors were unable to revive him.

"We're devastated. I loved him like a son," Bean said. "It looks like a heart attack, but no one knows until" an autopsy is done.

This is terrible. Condolences to his family.

Conservatism has lost a great friend and ally.

I agree with most posters here, there should be an independent ME retained to examine his body. I don’t like conspiracy theories but, given the level of enmity between liberals and conservatives and the fact that Breitbast was such a high profile character, there should be an independant investigation.

Don’t forget. Andrew did have dinner with Ayers and Dohrn at their residence Super Bowl Sunday.

If they don’t come out soon, that will confirm our worst suspicions...

Coroners can perform an autopsy in certain states. I don’t know if California is one of them.

L.A. has an 80+ year history of corruption in determining causes of death, dating back to silent movies. The only place it would have been more suspicious is in Chicago : )

If the cause of death was anything other than natural, I have no doubt the L.A. County Coroner has been advised as to what the “findings” shall read.

I trust nothing on this matter... there`s already wayyy too much circumstantial weirdness NOT to have some measure of suspicion.

This is what occurred to me. I have never been into conspiracy theories before but this happening in LA and what I know about the uninhibited nature of crazy hatred by lib/marxists there it does seem possible.

It is definitely something undetectable, The LA coroner will give some story and then don't be surprised if they cremate Breitbart.

Personally, I wouldn’t trust LA-anything to provide an honest open conclusion. If I were the controlling family member, I’d make damned sure I had my own independent forensic pathologist present at that autopsy. Further, I’d take possession on of the body as soon as possible thereafter to prevent any mistaken cremations.

I heard an interview with Tucker Carlson, who was at the dinner, too.

He said, in answer to a question, that Ayers himself prepared and served the meal...that he was quite the chef.

” The LA coroner will give some story and then don’t be surprised if they cremate Breitbart. “

Before they are authorized to do so....

There is a guy named Neal Rauhauser that has been threatening AB on Twitter up to last night. This guy has been using “guerrilla “ logic. He is supposedly a Soros paid hack to incite anger from conservatives. Its all part of twittergate. I found it odd that AB’s tweets were from a blackberry all day yesterday, but his las tweet was from an ipad. Was he carrying an ipad when he died???

Well, he was adopted into a Jewish family and so raised, though Wiki says he was ethnically Irish. Jews usually do not cremate.

Hire an independent coroner that won’t be bought off or threatened.

And I read that Orson Bean’s father (or another close relative) was a founder of the ACLU,

The last guy I would expect to have any political connections of any kind.
