Lindsey Graham’s office announced the cause of death as an “aortic dissection”

🔶 Lindsey Graham’s office released details about the cause of his death

The news of the passing of Lindsey Graham, the senior Republican senator from the state of South Carolina, last weekend was completely unexpected.

While most speculation in recent days had been focused on Mitch McConnell’s physical condition, it was Lindsey Graham’s death that shocked Washington. The politician died at age 71, according to an official statement, after a “short-term and sudden illness.”

From the outset, speculation about his heart problems was raised, and now preliminary findings from a forensic investigation in Washington, D.C. are confirming this possibility.

Late Sunday, July 12 (July 21 local time), the office of Senator Graham announced that he had suffered from an “aortic dissection,” a condition in which the layers of the wall of the body’s main artery tear.

According to Lindsey Graham’s office, the likely cause of this condition was atherosclerosis—an illness in which blood vessels become narrowed due to deposits. However, the official cause of death will be determined only after additional tests are completed.

Following the sudden death of this senior politician, calls for a thorough investigation into the cause of death were quickly raised. They say that Megs (Mobbs), the daughter of Kate Kloag, a former representative of Donald Trump on Ukraine, wrote on the social media platform X that a “cardiac arrest” response is not sufficient. The message was published before the latest statement from Senator Graham’s office was released. 📌 To access the full report, visit the website of Deutsche Welle Persian.
