Sad - a young age and a history of heart disease. Left a wife (Orson Bean's daughter) and 4 kids.

Helped start Drudge Report, Huffington Post, and his own sites including Breitbart.com (a news aggregator + original stories), Big Hollywood, Big Journalism and Big Government. A bulldog once he got a story.
