As we reported, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) died suddenly over the weekend.
A preliminary examination indicates that he died of an aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
In a joint statement, the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and medical examiner’s office said Graham was pronounced dead at George Washington University Hospital at 10:23 p.m. ET on Saturday. The statement also reiterated the medical examiner’s preliminary findings.
“Whenever an autopsy is performed in the District of Columbia, the pathologist also orders comprehensive toxicology testing and microcopy both of which take time to complete,” the statement added.
Once the toxicology testing is complete, they will have an official/final cause of death.
Graham told an aide he was not feeling well on Saturday. The aide told him to get some medical help, and unfortunately, Graham said he would do that after he appeared on "Meet the Press" on Sunday.
Graham joked, "I can't die now. I still need to do the Russia sanctions, get Iran sorted out and do Israeli-Saudi normalization," according to the report.
