A 26-year-old political journalist has died one day after she was found unconscious and barely breathing at her apartment in Southern California and placed into a medically-induced coma.
Bre Payton, a staff writer for right-wing news website The Federalist and a frequent TV commentator, was admitted into the ICU at a hospital in San Diego on Thursday morning.
After hours of tests doctors determined she was suffering from the H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu, as well as possible meningitis, according to a CaringBridge page set up for her.
News of her hospitalization broke Friday morning. Just before noon Pacific, Federalist publisher Ben Domenech confirmed on Twitter that she had died.
'Bre has passed. We are devastated. Last we saw her, she was her funny, smart, vivacious self. Now lost to us so suddenly,' Domenech wrote.

AND after breaking the story of the deleted texts from Strozk and Page...every time some one gets close to taking them down they are taken out.
Back in the day, ricin was the modus operandi...
Seems fishy to me, knew something that couldn't be publicized
HMMMMMM
Did she have something on the Clinton's?
Yeah, that 'swine flu' will do it every time. Just plain got too close to some kind of goods on someone.
Agree. Taken out.
Hmmmmmmm. She pulled a Vince Foster. Don't f**k with the Clintons.
