Why is media being secretive about Elijah Cummings cause of death?

No news source has stated what it is. What are they hiding?

by Anonymousreply 40October 21, 2019 10:18 AM

His drs haven't released much information? Sounds like he had been battling heart disease for some time.

by Anonymousreply 1October 17, 2019 10:25 PM

I rarely FF OP, but come on. The man died TODAY.

by Anonymousreply 2October 17, 2019 10:25 PM

He didn't really die. He's on the same island the rest of the Deep State moves to when they don't actually die.

There is always a conspiracy nut floating around somewhere and here is ours in the guise of the OP.

White entitlement killed him.

He died of a “longstanding health issue.” Why not just say heart disease, cancer or whatever it was? Why all the dancing around with this “longstanding health issue” bullshit?

And what's you need to know NOW, r8?

by Anonymousreply 9October 17, 2019 10:37 PM

I half heard on MSNBC that he had been under Hospice care, perhaps while still working on his committees.

What do you think it was, OP? Russian spy poison, AIDS, and uppitiness?

by Anonymousreply 12October 17, 2019 10:38 PM

r8 after reading that article at r7, I guess it was a bad combination of many health issues?

Any normal person would be quite miserable with all those health problems, but he carried on for two years anyway.

He was such an upstanding political figure. His family deserves the right to disclose whenever they choose.

It’s not the case, but it reminds me of this one.

Spoiler alert: it was a gay movie house. LOL.

Motorized WC, walker, long hospitalizations, hospice care. Sounds like your basic poor protoplasm.

Trump did it!

How unfortunate to meet your end at a gay Queens movie theater with the last name of Fidler.

R8 I think it must be AIDS...he isn't that old, and why be cagey about the reasons?

An overdose of Old Bay seasoning?

by Anonymousreply 20October 18, 2019 1:16 AM

I always thought he was almost 80! Had no idea he was so young. Probably not healthy. Not a shock.

by Anonymousreply 21October 18, 2019 1:24 AM

AOC did it. She wants his seat.

by Anonymousreply 22October 18, 2019 1:26 AM

He made a deal with Trump: he'd disappear and Trump would provide him with free access to the all you can eat buffet at Mar a Lago for 12 months.

by Anonymousreply 23October 18, 2019 1:30 AM

Cummings had been recenty using a walker, motorized wheelchair/scooter, and portable oxygen tank in DC, and passed away after a brief stay under Hospice care. Perhaps an aggressive cancer (without treatment) or more likely congestive heart failure. He did sign two subpoenas yesterday from his Hospice bed and passed away within 24 hours. Fought for justice right to the end.

by Anonymousreply 24October 18, 2019 1:57 AM

Sounds like CHF or COPD

by Anonymousreply 25October 18, 2019 1:59 AM

We want verification of what it was.

I'd rather focus on the good things he did while in that den of iniquity.

Jesus took him because he dared to oppose our Savior Donald J. Trump

Duh.

by Anonymousreply 29October 18, 2019 2:33 AM

I don't care what it was, this is sad. Everyone knew he was sick. The family will release more information when they feel like it.

by Anonymousreply 30October 18, 2019 3:52 AM

Alien abduction, OP, obviously.

Exactly what the fuck difference does it make, R8? Have some fucking compassion.

No we don't R35.

Precisely why, R35?

By the way, do you live in Baltimore? If not, then especially STFU.

I hope he voted early.

Cummings had heart surgery in 2017 and developed complications including an infection, which he's been fighting since then. All you have to do is look up his surgery in 2017, he was gone from the House for quite a while for surgery and the compilcations, it was reported in the press. Why make up a conspiracy?

by Anonymousreply 39October 21, 2019 10:16 AM

No one is hiding the truth, wtf, how bored are you?

[quote]Cummings has had health issues in recent years. He uses a wheelchair to get around and when he stands, he braces himself with a walker. In 2017, he underwent an aortic valve replacement. The procedure, which aides described as minimally invasive in Cummings’ case, is used to correct narrowing of the aortic valve in the heart. The surgery led to an infection that kept him in the hospital longer than expected. He was later hospitalized for a knee infection, but he said this summer that his health was fine.
