Cause of Death Revealed for Lindsey Graham, Pro-Life Champion and Strong Defender of Israel

New details are emerging about the cause of death for Sen. Lindsey Graham, who passed away suddenly at his home Saturday night. And tributes are pouring in for the South Carolina senator who stood for a strong America on the world stage, was an unwavering advocate for Israel, and championed the pro-life cause. A preliminary report indicates Graham's cause of death was a tear in the aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart. "It supplies all the blood supply to the entire body and all of our vital organs," said Dr. James Black, Chief of Vascular Surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. "When the aorta ruptures, it can be a fatal event. We know that these types of events occur with greater frequency as people get older, but also hypertension, high cholesterol, smoking are also major risk factors." First responders were called to Graham's home Saturday night. He had celebrated his 71st birthday last Thursday and had just returned from his tenth trip to Ukraine, which he has strongly supported in its fight against Russia. President Trump told NBC he spoke to Graham on Saturday, just before his death. "And he said, you know, I feel good, but I'm tired. He was like a member of the family to me. It's very tough, actually. People don't realize what a good politician he was," Trump said.
