Soon after print and television reports that Ohio Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones died today in an Ohio hospital after suffering an aneurysm, a news conference just concluded in which a spokesman said she was in critical condition, but still alive.
Tubbs Jones chairs the House ethics committee and is a Democratic superdelegate who was expected to attend that Democratic Convention in Denver. She was found yesterday unconscious behind the wheel of her car.
CNN is reporting that a Congressional staff member informed lawmakers that Tubbs Jones had died earlier today.
