Just got a breaking news from CNN.com and was shocked to here that Tim Russert died this afternoon at the NBC studios. It’s such an odd feeling to hear of someone dying that you have seen on TV on a daily basis, especially lately with the election in full swing. For more info on this click here. To see Tom Brokow’s break this story on CNN, less than an hour after his death click here. Can you imagine announcing the death of a co-worker and friend less than an hour after their death. I am surprised he didn’t loose it on the air, you can tell he kind of gets choked-up throughout it. DAMN!
RIP Tim Russert

RIP Tim Russert. From what I read, he just came back from Italy and kinda collapsed. I didn’t see anything about past medical history. And pretty young to die of a first heart attack. Sad.

my father died of the same thing that killed Tim, a Myocardial Infarction
Myocardial Infarction or MI has a more common name, heart attack, and it is caused when a part of the heart does not receive a blood supply. This interruption is due to a vulnerable plaque that has been broken. The myocardium is the heart muscle and the infarction is the death of the tissue because the shortage of oxygen reaching it.
