Andrew Breitbart has died
 

Conservative journalist and activist Andrew Breitbart died early Thursday morning in Los Angeles at the age of 43, says a report from Big Journalism, one of Breitbart’s websites.

“Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles,” writes Big Journalism writer Larry Solov. “We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.”

Breitbart.com editor-in-chief Joel Pollak confirmed to POLITICO on Thursday morning that Breitbart had passed away.

Conservative pundit Jonah Goldberg said Thursday on Fox that Breitbart was “the most fearless guy I ever knew. He truly loved the fight.”

Radio show host Monica Crowley told Fox, “It’s a huge loss to the conservative movement. He was a social media pioneer”

Pollak said that Breitbart had been taken by ambulance to the UCLA medical center, where he was pronounced dead shortly after midnight.

Pollak, who was present at the hospital, said that Breitbart had no known serious medical issues, but declined to say more on the matter out of respect to Breitbart family.

“He continues to inspire us, and we’ll be moving forward [on his projects]… as he would have wanted,” said Pollak. “We’re devastated by his loss.”

I predict a heart attack. Sudden death at his age...

Wow, he was so young! I didn't come across this story when I was doing my news rounds earlier which is surprising since he was the guy who brought down (via his site) both ACORN and Anthony Wiener.

Very sad for his four children who lost their daddy. They must still be fairly young given that he was so young. :(

He was a character, regardless of your political philosophy. He was also known for being very affable even to those with whom he did not agree.

RIP, Andrew. You were larger than life.

I always thought it was interesting that him and Arianna Huffington were good friends.

Apparently there are already some conspiracy theories regarding his death.
