Preliminary Autopsy: Senator Lindsey Graham’s Death Linked to Aortic Tear
According to the Washington, D.C. medical examiner’s office, a ruptured aorta caused by chronic arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the preliminary cause of Senator Lindsey Graham’s death. The official death certificate remains pending until toxicology and microscopic tests conclude in the coming weeks. Emergency responders rushed the 71-year-old lawmaker to George Washington University Hospital late Saturday after a 911 call reported severe chest pains at his Capitol Hill home. Despite CPR and immediate treatment, he was pronounced dead on arrival. Graham had just returned from an official trip to Kyiv, Ukraine, and spoke by phone with former President Donald Trump shortly before collapsing. Known for his two-decade career in foreign policy and defence, Graham had been a leading advocate for U.S. military presence abroad and legislative support for Ukrainian defence.
