Soo...She is NOT DEAD; she's still alive in CRITICAL CONDITION. The doctor says that she has very little brain function from an aneurysm that burst in an inaccessible part of her brain.
Again, she has not died.

...and they are reporting that she is IN CRITICAL CONDITION...and has NOT passed away!!!  Good news in that she is still putting up the "good" fight. Bad news in that media sources would allow this kind of misinformation to leak out!!  Can you imagine what this must be like for her family and colleagues? |

You've probably seen her on CNN Or C-Span, particularly over the past several months as she is a superdelegate and a supporter of Hilary Clinton.

Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Ohio has died. Clinic spokeswoman Eileen Sheil says Tubbs Jones died at 6:12 p.m. Wednesday after suffering a brain hemorrhage caused by an aneurysm that burst and left her with limited brain function. The 58-year-old Tubbs Jones was the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress and a strong critic of the Iraq war. She suffered the hemorrhage while driving her car in her east side district Tuesday evening.
