Longtime Houston mayor Sylvester Turner was elected to Congress and sworn in this past January.
Yesterday he admitted he wasn't feeling well but was determined to watch the Trump debacle from the Congressional gallery.
Evidently Congressman Sylvester Turner passed away immediately after Trump's speech in the tunnel beneath the Capitol.
No cause of death was immediately known.

Partisan Governor Greg Abbott is expected to delay calling for a special election to replace Congressman Turner for as long as humanly possible, to give Republicans an additional one vote margin to their slim majority, which is 218 to 214 after Turner's death.

Turner had been battling bone cancer. An acute cause appears to be likely the cause of death.
 
Yeah I just now heard that. Doesn't make it any less sad.
Congress is now a lot like those clips you see of fights in the Albanian Duma or the Iranian Lower House.

Zelensky brought a Boxing Champion belt to the White House ffs to impress biff tannen.
