Rick Grelen urges autopsy of dead South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham

Former acting director of the U.S. National Intelligence Service, Rick Grelen, called for a full autopsy of the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. Graham’s office had said his death on July 12 resulted from a "sudden and brief illness." Grelen, speaking on Fox News' "The Sunday Briefing," said the United States deserves to know the exact circumstances and suggested a post‑mortem could reveal possible poisoning. He described Graham as a senior and serious American official and said an autopsy would provide clear and transparent information about the cause of death.

The demand comes amid online speculation about foreign involvement and health problems that Graham reportedly faced. No official investigation has yet been announced.
