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:
At least they used a good photo of me.

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.

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

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).

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.
