RIP. Would've been surprised had it not been related to his heart after so many failed cardiac attacks.

And a transplant.

He made it 13 years post transplant, which is the median survival rate for heart transplants generally. He actually overachieved, since the median is lower for those over 60.

I'm waiting as long as possible to make a totally not sarcastic comment that at least I take comfort that Trump will honor Cheney with a great, respectful speech, I'm sure. Like I said, I'm waiting and will let you know when it's time. Probably after MAGA starts attacking him. Too late. https://archive.ph/ePbj9

Well at least it’s just rando trolls.

So far.

By the way, I think his memoir is worth reading.
