Looks like he had a TAVR procedure. I don't know his health status but those were initially done instead of traditional open heart surgeries because the patient had other comorbidities that make them high risk for the traditional open heart surgery. In those cases the TAVR will help in the short term but does not necessarily lengthen the mortality rate.Had a valve replacement and subsequent complications a couple years ago.
Guess his heart just wasn’t in it anymore.

Not at all.
The news I heard was he went to hospital for some routine tests and minor problems. Seems like there is a lot of sudden death problems in situations today.Anybody know what his chronic health problems were? Article says he died from complications thereof. Diabetes? High BP? Heart disease?

The floor of congress has been busy with speeches for Cummings grit and signing subpoenas on his death bed. Word has it though that the signatures on the "letters' talking about a subpoenas being sent don't even contain his signature.Threads merged.

That's because you signed up for a survivors benefit.He was elected in 1996 which means his retirement plan falls under FERS. His spouse would be entitled to whatever benefits are under FERS. My spouse only gets 50% of my retired pay if I die.
We are talking about Congress..they can figure out ways to get paid the rest if us cant . And since they make the laws and pass them at midnight its all legal.A pension to whom? His wife is under investigation for problems with her Foundation.
Sad for his family, good for the country...
