Did Lindsey Graham die a natural death?

There are a lot of theories circulating that Lindsey Graham did not die a natural death. I can understand why people think that, although I don’t personally agree.

For example, the Iranians are absolutely thrilled that Lindsey Graham is dead:

These are the same Iranians who have been issuing death threats against him, threats that, just a few days ago, Graham laughed off with grace:

With his hawkish attitude, Graham didn’t have great friends among the Russians either. That being the case, you can see why his unexpected death instantly gave rise to very comprehensive theories that he did not die a natural death:

5 days ago, the IRGC publicly called for Senator Lindsey Graham to be assassinated. He was traveling abroad to a war zone the last few days to try to end the war between Ukraine and Russia.
He’s been home for less than one day, and tonight, his staff said he passed away from a… pic.twitter.com/VQYxHU37kt

The timing doesn’t pass the smell test.
Let’s lay out what we know:

One person foresaw that these theories might arise, and urged full and instant disclosure to forestall them:

Obviously I did not make myself sufficiently clear in the below post, so I will clarify.
In all likelihood, Senator Graham died of natural causes. While some sort of foul play is certainly possible, I consider it highly unlikely.

As for me, I tend to try to look for horses first, not zebras, when I hear hoofbeats outside my window. In this case, the coroner has reported that Graham died from an aortic dissection, the same condition that killed John Ritter, the comedian, in 2003. Although an unexpected death, an aortic dissection is not an unreasonable death in an older man who probably enjoyed good Southern cooking and didn’t exercise a lot:

🫀Now that’s it’s been revealed that Senator Lindsey Graham died of an aortic dissection, I wanted to provide some clarity as to what it is (and isn’t).
As you see👇, the aorta is like the water main, a huge artery that sends oxygenated blood to the entire body. It’s under… https://t.co/nMF9aQjgVy pic.twitter.com/p1mEa7sFd8

While there’s always a possibility that Lindsey Graham’s political enemies killed him, the likeliest enemy was Father Time, who eventually comes for us all.
