A 71-year-old with round-the-clock staff, no warning signs, and paramedics at his home within minutes still didn't survive. That's the uncomfortable takeaway from the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham, and cardiologists say it points to a killer most Americans never see coming.
Graham, a South Carolina Republican, died at his Washington home on Saturday night after what his office called 'a brief and sudden illness'. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of the District of Columbia gave a preliminary cause on Sunday, aortic dissection caused by arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
