    After August 3 apparently, after then it is too late to put someone in for him until the election.

      That only works if they can keep everyone involved quiet. If he’s actually deceased, that fact is going to leak.

        Sounds like he’s brain dead which fits with “found unconscious”. They can keep him on life support for months

          That’s my guess as well. There was also reporting that said CPR was administered. When that is done on a frail elderly body, it creates many more problems than it solves.

          He started with cardiac arrest and now he’s got maybe a chest full of shrapnel as well: he’s only leaving feet first, IMO.

        My totally unfounded theory is that he’s just hooked up to a bunch of machines to keep him “alive” and they’ll pull the plug after that.

        It really does make the most sense given the info at have so far.
