Victim.

Did he end up on a ventilator? Was he denied ivermectin? Where was he receiving care and how did that type of thing play out?

Rumor has it (read it last night) that he was suffering from Covid, he went in to some kind of respiratory shock, and he bled to death when a paramedic tried to trach him.

This is stupid. He was in LSU Ochsner ICU for 6 days before dying. No paramedic needed to do anything.

It always sounded like he died of medical malpractice to me. Very sad situation.

Hey ... don't shoot the messenger.

Jake is wrong. Luke’s initial treatment was botched which caused him to die. Once he went into the ICU it was too late. It’s a tragedy what occurred. Legitimately. He got very bad care in Monroe. Then John Bel kept the seat vacant until April to screw Republicans.

That's why I posted it as rumor ... because no one called them.out on it last night.

I was hoping someone might tonight. Unless it was true.

This was always so confusing to me.

If he passed from Covid that validates that Covid was a legitimate threat since he was otherwise healthy.

But his base is MAGA so they aren’t supposed to acknowledge Covid. Does this make sense?

Is someone trying to imply Mrs. Letlow conspired in the death of her husband so she could run for his seat and eventually run for Senate to replace Cassidy?

That is some deep conspiracy excrement.

Was just passing along a rumor.

The rumor was there were complications from trying to traech him. Nobody said he died in the ambulance, just that he lost a ton of blood. The fact that he was in Port city for 6 days doesn't really prove anything., unless he was up and moving around. In all actuality, he was probably on a vent and comatose

The only reason I think it caught a little traction was because that was during the time when it seemed like every death was linked to covid.

All I remember is the owner / chef of La Boca in New Orleans celebrated and mocked Luke’s death. Will never forget that and never step foot in that place again

Dumbass, Covid wasn’t the killer. Covid treatments were the killer.
