Andrew Breitbart Passed from Heart Failure; Reaction?
The Los Angeles County coroner’s office has released the official coroner’s report, indicating Andrew Brietbart died from heart failure. This confirms the speculation by one of Breitbart’s friends and “Big” colleagues who, while appearing on Hannity in the days following Andrew’s death, said that Breitbart probably died from a massive heart attack. In that same segment, this man (it may have been Steve Bannon, I can’t recall) revealed that Breitbart had a heart condition which had not been disclosed to the public but for which he had previously received in-patient treatment.
Conspiracy theories popped up almost immediately, including on this very site, about the cause of Andrew’s death. One person linked a report that said Breitbart was bright red or pink in color as he lay on the ground, which could possibly have been consistent with cyanide poisoning. With no eyewitness to his actual collapse, this is of course only speculation (he probably would have had a seizure prior to or during his collapse).
While I always at least entertain conspiracy theories, it would be difficult to believe that Breitbart was the victim of a political assassination and subsequent cover-up by the LA County Coroner’s office. That’s an awful lot of potential loose ends. Given the fact that Breitbart’s friend admitted he had a heart condition which was severe enough to require in-patient treatment, the most likely explanation is that he really did die from heart failure.
But what say you?

Still, the timing of his death is absolutely remarkable. Four years ago I laughed at most conspiracy theories, these days, I rule nothing out, anything is possible. Thanks to obama, my eyes have been opened to the evil that is among us.
A couple of things worthy of noting.
Sinclair news site quotes AB as saying on Feb. 9th “Wait til they see what happens on March 1st”. Also, Jerome Corsi said at the Sheriff Arpaio press conference on March 1st that he “helped facilitate Breitbart’s request to interview Arpaio only hours before Breitbart’s death”. Everything about Breitbarts death is strange. I’m not saying that his death was not natural nor am I saying that is was, but anytime obama is involved with something, things get really strange really fast.
One thing I would mention, Robert – Thomas Noguchi & Marilyn Monroe …………………………. HOW many years after Marilyn Monroe’s death did Noguchi decide to “tell all” {ie, injection marks in her axillary area, that were NOT noted on the official autopsy report}?
As folks know from reading/listening to news/blogs, ‘confidence’ in institutions that were considered trustworthy for decades has eroded to the point that approval of Congress, for instance, is in low 2 digit or single digit results.

I heard about Andrew’s heart condition, but I’m not sure what to think since he certainly was a thorn in the side of many. In fact he was working on a feature film about OWS before he died. It’s going to be finished & released, in memory of him.
This is going to put a damper on the whole Spring uprising thingy.
Who these people are and that Barry and the dems are supporting this violence is important to expose.
We are ALL Breitbart now.

Breitbart Lives
Andrew’s friends all knew he had been treated for heart disease. Bill Whittle posted a video on YouTube addressing it immediately after Breitbart’s death.
Andrew’s father in-law, Orson Bean, told reporters the night of his death that he’d been sick for about a year with a bad heart. And Ann McElhinney, who spoke with him at a conference in the mid-west the weekend before he died, wrote on her Facebook page that he seemed very unwell and tired.
The loss is massive to most of us, and the timing suspect, but young men do suffer from ill health and die. Perhaps that explains why Andrew lived the courageous and headfirst life that he did–what would you do if you knew you had only one year left?
Anyway, I would be inclined to trust people of Bill Whittle’s integrity rather than losing time pondering conspiracy and murder. It’s probably amusing Breitbart to no end right now, but there’s work to be done, a nation to be saved. The UN has plans in June to turn us into one huge socialist “global government” with a “green economy” which the administration fully supports. Which means America will pay and pay and pay. And Obama plans to steal an election. We have so many fires to fight.
There are real threats afoot, kiddos. Let’s carry on where Andrew left off; let’s do him proud. And may God bless our efforts…
I agree, Breitbart himself would want us carrying on the spirit of his legacy rather than worrying about the specifics of his passing.
I also agree, Aine. What an excellent, well-reasoned post. Yet no amount of facts will convince those who are bound and determined to believe that some mysterious, shadowy figure injected Breitbart with a CIA-manuactured cyanide dart via blowgun.
Let’s not forget that the “black establishment” continues to threaten the rest of us with race riots and other uprisings. I wouldn’t put anything past the racemongers and the Dems in an effort to make people believe that the violence will begin/continue if we don’t re-elect Obama. I shudder to think what the summer will bring, since that’s when people who are inclined to riot like to do it.
We need to carry Andrew’s legacy forward and expose all of this.
Yes — and look at how many people have started taking on the mantle, questioning the drive by media even more? How many more people are waking up? Let’s have something good come out of this, and let it be that his vision is continued.
He was probably being slowly poisoned over a year. I find it strange that Orson Bean — a known communist sympathizer who was quoted as saying “all my children are little communists” — would have come out so soon and so vocally about the incident. Now, no word form him at all?>
You have to admit, Andrew had a lot of enemies and he also stated on the Mark Levin show that he regularly feared for his life, and not because of heart trouble.
Very strange, just like the Obama impersonator who also died of “natural causes” in his bed a few days after Breitbart.
Not a good week to be a white male critical of the immigrant-in-chief.
I just hope that Marco Rubio doesn’t die of “natural causes” or have a mysterious car accident or be assassinated by a “wacko”.
Stress does enormous damage to the body. Brietbart was Type A on steriods, he thrived on stress and as his friend Bill Whittle told us, he neglected his health.
We should all take time out to decompress when we can, today was the first day in a long time I had a chance to tend to our garden and do some much needed chores. It was great to get away from the computer and work.
When you think about it, Our Country has been under stress for years and those of us paying attention and trying to save Our Republic carry that stress daily on top of everyday matters with family, friends, work, etc. The stess is bad for us as individuals and the US. We cannot let our guard down but we do need time to unwind. Be Breitbart but take care of yourself and your family.
Easier said than done, Indy …………………….. I have ‘anxiety issues’ {reaction to abusive childhood} – my response to “things”/situations is a pounding heart, hyper-awareness, & occasionally ‘bouncing off walls’ {thankfully, I’m able to maintain coherence, and do not suffer from paranoid ideation} – my point being, I can read “real news” {ie, reports/analyses from blogs}, and, depending on what *I* recognize as not being good for our nation, go the rest of the day with pounding heart, etc., etc. Also, not for nothing, everybody in my family, both sides, has died of cardiac/vascular “events”. Increased forcefulness of heart rate wouldn’t help THAT too much, hunh?
Doctors being over-regulated, I can’t get the medication that helps the anxiety easily, which just adds to the overall emotional burden. NOT feeling sorry for myself, I just recognize the cost of my being involved, to save this nation for my child & grandchildren. My ‘happy place’, comparable to your garden, is/are the four kittens the stray mama cat we’ve been feeding for years brought me – she brought them Easter Sunday – their eyes & ears were still closed, their umbilicals still attached – they now “talk” to us when we enter the “nursery” {2nd bathroom}, and push their heads into our hands for petting ………………………..

Thank you for your service! I completely relate to “easier said than done” comment. Pets are wonderful family members. Our dog greets each of us with a tail wag, cold nose and runs around like we’ve been gone for years when all we did was come home from work / school. They instinctively know when we need a stress break.
May God watch over you, each of us are putting our children, grandchildren, neices, nephews and future generations in front of our own health because we are awake and we know what is at stake. I take comfort knowing there are others out their joining my family to stand for freedom. Take advantage of downtime when you can, we need you long term as this fight for freedom cannot be won in one election, it will take decades.
Heart failure and heart attack are not the same thing. In fact, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, they are opposites. The high period for hearts is 11am – 1 pm, the low period is 11pm – 1 am. As Andrew died right in the middle of heart yin and is said to have had heart failure, I believe it. Heart yang around noon is a more likely time for a heart attack.
My husband had congestive heart failure, which came on rather suddenly, in 1999, at his age of 51. He was well on Wednesday, and nearly dead on Friday, from a heart muscle that just came unglued, probably from a virus which settled in his heart muscle and ruined it. He was given less than four months to live. He lived for seven years before receiving a heart transplant seven years ago, and went to church with me this morning. As his condition worsened, near what would have been his death had he not received the transplant, the hours from 11 pm to 1 am every night were very frightening, because his breathing would slow and then stop, repeatedly, unless I touched him. If we made it to 1 am I knew we had 24 more hours.
You can do a bypass, stents, all sorts of things for a heart that is likely to have a heart attack from occluded arteries, but there isn’t anything permanent to be done for a cardiomyopathy, except a transplant. Stem cells in the future, perhaps, but for now, transplant. That is because the muscle of a heart with heart failure is like stew meat, where the heart muscle of a healthy person is like filet mignon. The stew meat just has no strength.
Also on the subject of heart failure, a friend of mine married a woman with two young children, whose young husband had contracted a virus and was dead in 48 hours from heart failure. So, it can be very unexpected and fast.
Heart failure would make Andrew very tired and short of breath, so that he would probably pant when breathing, and especially when trying to speak a long sentence. I was always surprised that Dick Cheney could still speak in long sentences, even when he was very ill. My husband could speak about 7-8 words, then his voice would fade out, and he’d have to take another breath to go again.
So, rest in peace Andrew Breitbart. I am very sad about it, but believe you died of natural causes.
Yeah…
The ‘official’ report is that Breitbart’s death was from ‘heart failure’.
What they either neglect to tell us, or are incapable of determining, is exactly what *caused* Breitbart’s cardiac failure.
That is *never* mentioned. All we’re given is an ambiguous, generic ‘heart failure’ excuse.
Cardaic embolism? Congestive heart failure? Muscular atrophy? Aortic aneurysm??
All of these conditions can, with utmost certainty, be determined with a modicum of medical curiosity, and most certainly could be determined by a competant and honest forensic Medical Examiner.
If this story had been about Dick Cheney, you can rest assured that the US media would convey (be ‘all over’) the *exact* physiological properties of his cardiac degeneration.
Why is Breitbart worthy of only a secondary, or tertiary level diagnosis?
The only reasons that an exact cause of death would not, or could not, be conclusively determined would be:
a) ME was incompetant and didn’t know what to look for. Or, they were lazy and were merely giving the subject (victim?) a cursory examination without expecting to find anything of a nefarious nature.
Specifically: treated the case with less than the examination deserved.
b) ME knew what to look for, but was trying to hide the truth; either of own self interest / preservation or because they were ordered by a supervisor to do so. This would indicate a collusion, i.e.: a ‘cover up’, between two or more parties.
Let’s tickle our brains with this little tidbit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzIw44w00ow
And to think, this congressional hearing was filmed nearly 25 – 30 years before 2012.
Take a moment to think about what the CIA has devoloped since then.
Food for thought… draw your own conclusions.
The full report is supposedly going to be released within 2 weeks. Here is some additional information in the mean time:
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/04/20/Coroner-Andrew-Breitbart-Died-of-Heart-Failure
Under cause of death, below “heart failure”, the initial report also includes: “HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY WITH FOCAL CORONARY ATHEROSCLEROSIS”
Insulin injections cause heart failure and are impossible to trace.
Unless Breitbart had a gay sex tape starring Obama – which could cost him some numbers with black voters – I honestly don’t think the Obama camp were sweating any of the irons Breitbart had in the fire at the time of his death. I just don’t see the motive for murder here. Nothing phases Obama and his enchanted minions.
I vote for natural cases.
I agree with the natural causes theory. However, I wouldn’t underestimate the left’s hatred for Breitbart.
Oh, I don’t put anything past Obama and his handlers. And, in fact, there are too many unusual circumstances around Breitbart’s death for my comfort. For me, all of it feels orchestrated and the series of ‘Vetting’ articles and tapes released following Breitbart’s death were so ineffective and underwhelming, they almost screamed “manufactured distraction.”
So, if I am going to entertain wild speculation – I speculate that Andrew Breitbart is not dead and he is, in fact, a political operative for the Left, AND he will return before the November election to discredit the Right with a story of how he faked his own death as a “cruel, but necessary” political stunt.
This type of thing would be more Obama’s style, IMO. And besides the obvious date coincidence, what I find most unsettling is the questioning of Breitbart’s wife – within 24 hours of his death – about those tapes, and that she was asked to make decisions about releasing them. I just find that very strange. Given how underwhelming they were, I wouldn’t bother her with them for a month. Certainly they weren’t going to cause anyone planning on voting for Obama, in November, to rethink their vote. And if I were in Breitbart’s wife’s position with such young children, I would NOT entertain questions about anything to do with them within a day of my husband’s death. Of course, there are many other unusual circumstances, too, that beg for people to speculate.
But, mostly I believe Andrew Breitbart was the man he presented and claimed to be, and that he died of natural causes…
…and that his staff are just particularly insensitive, and his wife far too gracious during a time of intense grief.
I’m pretty sure there will be more tapes than just the one we’ve seen so far. Breitbart mastered the technique of the “slow reveal”. Actually he learned it from Drudge who broke/led the Lewinsky story. He started with something small, waited and watched until the jackals came out to destroy him, then fed another piece, and another piece until finally the President was left to admit that he did, in fact, have sexual relations with that woman.
I hadn’t heard about his wife being questioned by his staff about releasing them. But I don’t really feel like I can speculate on the possible impropriety of that. I don’t know what involvement, if any, his wife had in the ownership or operational stake of the “Big” empire, or if she was included in any of the decision-making processes on a day-to-day basis. No doubt it came up because his friend and colleague was going on Hannity that same day and he probably would have needed permission to announce the release of the first tape.
Breitbart himself was a big fan of striking while the iron is hot. I can’t say that he would have wanted his wife bothered by such a detail so soon after his death, but I feel pretty confident that he would have supported the announcement that the tape would be released.
What keeps gnawing away at my tendency to dismiss theories of an unnatural death re Andrew Breitbart are the words and deeds of Bill Ayers (a man who incidentally dedicated a book that he co-authored, to Sirhan Sirhan, the man who assassinated Robert Kennedy).
Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernadette Dohrn prepared dinner at their home for Tucker Carlson and Andrew Breitbart and a few others on February 5, 2012 – Superbowl Sunday. The dinner had been won (purposefully) by Tucker Carlson at a charity auction and Andrew was one of his guests. In a radio interview, after the dinner, Andrew Breitbart suggested that he and Bill Ayers should tour the country together, each giving their disparate views about the United States of America.
Bill Ayers, over the years, in his own words and deeds:
Of the day he bombed the Pentagon, Ayers wrote, “Everything was absolutely ideal…. The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.” “I’m guilty as hell. I don’t regret setting bombs, ” said Ayers in 2001, “I feel we didn’t do enough.”
Bill Ayers in March, 2011: “I get up every morning and think, today I’m going to make a difference. Today I’m going to end capitalism. Today I’m going to make a revolution. I go to bed every night disappointed but I’m back to work tomorrow, and that’s the only way you can do it.”
From the Ayers Tapes: “Kill all the rich people. … Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents. That’s where it’s really at”.
“Ayers created, in collaboration with longtime communist Mike Klonsky, the so-called “Small Schools Movement” (SSM). A chief goal of SSM is to teach students that American capitalism is a racist, materialistic doctrine that has done incalculable harm to societies all over the world. One of the more infamous students to attend an SSM school (Mountain View High School in Arizona) was Jared Lee Loughner, the gunman who — on January 8, 2011 in Tucson — shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in the head, leaving her in critical condition. Loughner also sprayed gunfire at others in the vicinity, wounding thirteen and killing six”.
Bernadette Dohrn, the wife of Bill Ayers and co-preparer of the dinner, “Dig it. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, then they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!”
Bill Ayers ended an article about his dinner with Andrew Breitbart with this: “That road trip was never a likely prospect……a few days after our dinner Breitbart died suddenly outside his home at the age of 43″.
It just keeps gnawing and gnawing…..
Very interesting information… I hadn’t heard about any of this!
Mr. James, you may find the following of interest:

Mr. Ayers’ involvement with the SSM is mentioned in the second to last paragraph of this enlightening article.
Also, in this older article, the association is explored:

Today, at wnd.com, there is an article that a coroner out there, may have been poisoned,
http://www.wnd.com/2012/04/breitbarts-coroner-poisoned-to-death/?cat_orig=us
This was posted by another person as well. Very interesting, no?
Amazed that there’s not been more suspicion about the fact that Breitbart had dinner with Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn 3 wks. before he died–WHICH AYERS PREPARED!
These are 2 people who have already shown that they’re fully capable of murder to further their “political beliefs”!
And then Breitbart has an extremely untimely and unexplained death a few weeks later?? Just because he had a “heart condition” doesn’t prove ANYTHING about what the actual cause of death was.
Appears that even the autopsy was covered up!!
