(Reuters) - Conservative activist Andrew Breitbart, an influential voice in U.S. Republican politics known for his attacks on liberals and Democrats, died unexpectedly of natural causes in Los Angeles early on Thursday, his family said. He was 43.
Breitbart was walking last night near his Los Angeles home when he collapsed, said his father-in-law, actor Orson Bean.
"He collapsed on the sidewalk and the paramedics were there very quickly and they couldn't revive him," Bean told Reuters in a phone interview.
A friend of Breitbart told Reuters he had a history of heart problems and is believed to have suffered a heart attack.

I certainly didn't endorse this guy's politics but, it is really sad to hear that someone so young dies unexpectedly. RIP
Yes he was young. But I consider this to be instant karma after the horrible things he's said.
I have to agree with the both of you, because I'm stuck on always having to see both sides of things, usually. What is really sickening are the conspiracies that are going around and some of the sick comments people are making. Which leads me to believe that I need to stop reading and listening to politics 24/7....
Agreed, Vikeau and JoJO! Rose, I guess I haven't listened to enough news about this...but then, I couldn't stand his politics, so I think I'll just let sleeping dogs lie. I always catch up on the news through Stewart and Colbert.
Good idea Ruby, it is ugly out there in the political world online. Stewart, Colbert, and Bill Maher are my favorites, and Morning Joe LOL
I uesd to be a total political junkie. These days I can't stand to even pay attention. Really the only reason I knew this guy's name was because of the VDO incident. Right now I'm getting over the Rush Limbaugh stupidity.
He was young and had a family. I will always have respect for those who speak their minds.
