        That only works if they can keep everyone involved quiet. If he’s actually deceased, that fact is going to leak.

          My totally unfounded theory is that he’s just hooked up to a bunch of machines to keep him “alive” and they’ll pull the plug after that.

          It really does make the most sense given the info at have so far.

              In Texas they keep braindead pregnant bodies alive so they can give birth months later, even against family wishes.

              Hos daughter getting off of X and all the other silence. It feels like someone pulled everyone aside and was like "we’re gonna keep this dude “alive” and you all need to just take this for the team otherwise the democrats will win…or something.

          Sounds like he’s brain dead which fits with “found unconscious”. They can keep him on life support for months

            That’s my guess as well. There was also reporting that said CPR was administered. When that is done on a frail elderly body, it creates many more problems than it solves.

            He started with cardiac arrest and now he’s got maybe a chest full of shrapnel as well: he’s only leaving feet first, IMO.
