Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart collapsed while walking near his Brentwood home, his father-in-law said.

Sources told The Times that Breitbart was rushed to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center about midnight, where he was pronounced dead of natural causes. No further details were available.

His father-in-law, actor Orson Bean, told the Associated Press that a neighbor saw Breitbart fall and called paramedics. Bean also said Breitbart had suffered from heart problems in the past.

Of all the CPAP speakers that were televised a few weeks ago, he was the only one I was able to watch. What a brilliant man. Where he has fallen, may one hundred rise up to take his place. God bless you Andrew Breitbart.

Deepest sympathy on the loss of your friend. We have all lost a great conservative leader...

Do you really want to sound like a complete idiot?

What do you mean ‘why’?

I guess his wife is part of the conspiracy too? He had heart trouble. Why is that so hard to understand? He talked to several of his friends about it.

Is walking at midnight a popular activity in Brentwood?

I only have one other night to go on.

That night Ron Goldman was out walking, and he ran into OJ who was also out on a stroll, and then Kato walked back by OJ's house.

It seems like a happening night spot.

“Who are you to be all holier than thou on an IMMEDIATE cause of death for a prominent public figure?”

Holier than thou? roflol...How about LISTENING to his friends talk about it! He had heart trouble which he told several of his CLOSE friends. They were all worried about him and how he wasn’t taking care of himself. Not too hard to understand, IMO.

A terrible loss.

For what it’s worth— the midnight stroll does not seem odd to me. I do it myself to relax, and I know the general area of Brentwood. Generally speaking, it’s about as safe an area as you will find in LA.

What worries me: Andrew felt healthy enough to take the walk- sick people don’t exercise. Exceptions might be made: emotional turmoil etc.

Apparently, he was 'well enough' to tweet only 9 hours ago.......so tweeting and walking? ;)

I agree. After reading his autobiography, I am saddened—but not shocked. The boy did a lot of living before breaking onto the national scene. That type of stress might not show on the surface, but it does cause damage.

It’s too bad. He was one of a few conservative commenters that did not sound like a shrill.

Think that is the normal procedure today.

Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for the gift of this young warrior Andrew Breitbart. We pray for his family and friends for their loss. We pray for their strength and comfort.

In Your Holy Name,
Amen

Why would the family need to be in on a murder plot? The only ones who would need to be would be whoever issued the order and whoever carried it out. The medical centers and coroner would see things as the most likely and common scenario and proceed accordingly. The family wouldn't question the officials opinions and why would they?

I'm just saying that if there is foul play involved there doesn't need to be lots of operators in the know. Personally, I think the timing is suspicious but we should let things play out a bit before deciding one way or the other

A serious loss to our cause. Yes indeed. Breitbart is survived by his wife Suzie, four children, Samson, 12; Mia, 10; Charlie, 6; and William, 4, his sister, Tracy, and his parents, Jerry and Arlene.

My husband died in our back yard on the farm with no history of heart problems age 51...One of my son’s first heart attach was in the mid fortys. His brother had to have heart surgery before the age of 50 and found out he only had 2 coronary arterys.....For my family, there is a family history of heart attacks before the age of 50 for the males....its sad, but for some its hard to beat the genetics you inherit...In those cases knowledge of your family tree is important....Men, don’t ignore your health, your not superman,

natural causes

Now how would anyone know that?

Did they run toxic screenings? Did they check his body for injection sites?

Someone saw him collapse? At midnight? In Brentwood?

This just doesn't pass the smell test.

Breitbart had a lot of enemies in high places.

Hannity mentioned he had a heart conditions. And others mentioned he had health issues and didn’t take very good care of himself. Slept only a few hours a night and was constantly on the go. “Raise against time”

Collapsed? After shaking hands with someone, after getting ‘coffee’ from someone? After feeling a sting from a dart shot by someone? Delayed reaction from poison introduced in to food he ate while out?

If there is a video of Obama from his college days he had, this ‘natural cause’ crap is just that, crap. I’d have an independent doctor there witnessing the autopsy and I’d take possession of the body immediately thereafter before LA mistakenly ‘cremates’ it. These people are singularly evil.

Courage doesn’t begin to describe Brietbart. Only Coulter at one time had this kind of chutzpah.

Did he explain what new material he had to you?
