cause of death
United States Senator Lindsey Graham died of “aortic dissection” caused by cardiovascular disease, according to preliminary findings from the Washington, D.C., medical examiner’s office. Aortic dissection is a tear in the aorta, which carries blood to the body.
A spokesman for Graham said the death certificate would be pending “all toxicology and microscopy testing” being completed.
However, prominent figures in the MAGA movement soon began to float theories about Graham’s death, with right-wing firebrand Laura Loomer citing his recent trip to Ukraine and his advocacy for tougher sanctions on Russia.
“Yesterday, Lindsey Graham was in Ukraine… calling for more sanctions on Russia and pledging more U.S. support for Ukraine,” she said on X. “One day later, Lindsey Graham is dead. There needs to be an investigation!”
There is no evidence to support MAGA’s claims, and the authorities have not pointed to any foul play.
