Death of Senator Lindsey Graham
At 1:56 · chapter starts 0:53
NPR's Eric McDaniel follows up on the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, the Republican from South Carolina who was 71 years old. The Washington DC medical examiner's initial report, shared by Graham's office, attributed his death to a torn aorta — the body's main blood vessel — caused by long-term cardiovascular disease. Emergency services arrived at Graham's home Saturday evening, and dispatch audio reviewed by NPR confirmed they found him in cardiac arrest. His office had initially described his death as a 'brief and sudden illness,' but the medical examiner's report paints a fuller, more clinical picture. Crucially, the final cause of death has not yet been determined, pending additional standard testing including toxicology — meaning the full story is not yet closed.[2]
