The Daily Mail reported today (Sunday) that the FBI will assist local authorities in investigating the unexpected death of Lindsey Graham. This report increases skepticism surrounding the sudden death of the US senator at the age of 71.
Graham’s office announced this morning that the senator “passed away after a short and sudden illness.” US authorities monitored a call to the local emergency number regarding “cardiac arrest” received from Graham’s residence around 8:30 p.m. (US time), but no official cause of death has been confirmed, according to multiple reports.
FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on the X network that the agency “is assisting local authorities and has made all necessary resources available to them.” Graham was a vocal supporter of American involvement in conflicts abroad, including the Russia-Ukraine war and the confrontations with Iran.
Graham was also the target of threats from Iranian leaders. An anchor on Iranian state television said she congratulated “the Iranian people on the death of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who was sent to hell.”
