Apparently there's no confirmation. The link is now broken, but some family members do believe he has passed.

Adam Smith saying Young's still alive and that's been confirmed.

Seems like it. You'd think media would be careful about reporting about a political death, of all things.

From twitter: "@learyreports: "Rep. C. W. Bill Young's condition turned for the worse over night and he is gravely ill," a spokesman says. Prognosis is "guarded.""

Time to edit the name of the thread a 2nd time.


Also, we all speculated that Young retired because he was old and didn't want to fight a tough race, but from the reports it seems Young has been close to death for nearly two weeks.

RIP

As a constituent, RIP to a a great public servant. Though I rarely agreed with him politically, he served our district with distinction and was widely respected for his constant support for the people of this community. We've lost one of the last of the statesmen.

Doubtful. Young's service to this community is legendary.

Of course they won't. I'm horrible with goodbyes and tributes.
