Preliminary Autopsy Reveals Senator Lindsey Graham Died from Aortic Rupture Amid Iranian Involvement Suspicions
Senator Lindsey Graham's office announced that preliminary autopsy results indicate he died from an aortic rupture caused by cardiovascular disease. The official death certificate has not yet been finalized, pending toxicology and microscopic test results, which law enforcement sources say could take several weeks to complete.
The announcement comes amid suspicions of Iranian involvement in his death. Emergency call recordings released by The Wall Street Journal reveal that on Saturday night around 8:30 p.m., fire and medical teams were dispatched to Graham's residence on South Capitol Street in Washington following a report of chest pain. Shortly after, an unidentified woman called 911 stating she was traveling from Baltimore to the home and that the front door should be open.
Upon arrival, emergency responders found the door locked and received no response despite repeated knocking. After several minutes, they decided to break in with police assistance. More than fifteen minutes later, communications indicated resuscitation efforts were underway on an unnamed individual who had suffered cardiac arrest. The circumstances surrounding the event remain under investigation as further tests continue.
