美国联邦参议员林赛·格雷厄姆因病逝世 终年71岁US Senator Lindsey Graham Dies at 71 After Sudden Illness
美国南卡罗来纳州共和党籍联邦参议员、总统唐纳德·特朗普的盟友林赛·格雷厄姆于2026年7月11日星期六晚上因突发疾病去世，终年71岁。华盛顿哥伦比亚特区法医公布的初步调查结果显示，格雷厄姆的死因是动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病引起的主动脉夹层（即身体最大动脉破裂）。法医办公室强调，该结果并非最终结论，格雷厄姆的死亡证明需等待毒理学和显微镜检测全部完成后才能最终确定。 这位在国会服务了三十年的资深立法者的逝世，距离他面临连任竞选仅有四个月，且就在他刚从乌克兰访问归来的一天后。曝光的紧急救援调度音频显示，救援人员于周六晚上8点多被派往格雷厄姆位于华盛顿的住所，当时报告为心脏骤停。由于大门紧锁且屋内无人回应，救援人员请求大都会警察局协助破门，随后在屋内进行了心肺复苏。格雷厄姆最终于当晚10点23分在乔治·华盛顿大学医院被宣告死亡。特朗普总统对格雷厄姆的逝世表示哀悼，称其“就像家人一样”，并下令全国降半旗志哀至周六傍晚。
US Senator Lindsey Graham, a prominent South Carolina Republican and close ally of President Donald Trump, died on Saturday night, July 11, 2026, at the age of 71 after a brief and sudden illness. According to preliminary findings released by the District of Columbia's medical examiner, Graham's cause of death was an aortic dissection, or a rupture of the body's largest artery, stemming from arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The medical examiner's office noted that the final death certificate remains pending until all toxicological and microscopic testing is completed. The veteran lawmaker, who served in Congress for three decades, died just one day after returning from a trip to Ukraine, and four months before he was scheduled to face a re-election campaign. Emergency dispatch audio from Saturday evening showed that first responders were dispatched to Graham's Washington, D.C., home shortly after 8 p.m. for a reported cardiac arrest. After finding the door locked, responders requested police assistance to force entry, performed CPR inside, and Graham was later pronounced dead at George Washington University Hospital at 10:23 p.m. President Trump paid tribute to Graham, describing him as "like a member of the family," and ordered flags across the country to fly at half-staff.

02法医初步诊断：死因为主动脉夹层Medical Examiner's Preliminary Findings: Aortic Dissection
在林赛·格雷厄姆参议员去世数小时后，他的办公室公布了华盛顿哥伦比亚特区首席法医办公室的初步调查结果。根据法医的诊断，格雷厄姆的死因是由于动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病引起的主动脉夹层。动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病即通常所说的动脉硬化，而主动脉夹层则是指人体最大的动脉主动脉的内膜发生破裂，从而导致主动脉破裂。周日，法医已对格雷厄姆的遗体进行了尸检。
Hours after the announcement of Senator Lindsey Graham's passing, his office released the preliminary findings from the District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. According to the medical examiner, Graham's cause of death was an aortic dissection resulting from arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, which refers to the hardening of the senator's arteries. An aortic dissection occurs when a tear develops in the inner lining of the aorta, the body's largest artery, leading to an aortic rupture. An autopsy on the 71-year-old lawmaker was performed on Sunday.
华盛顿特区法医办公室与大都会警察局在联合声明中强调，目前的初步检查结果并非最终结论。格雷厄姆的最终死亡证明目前仍处于待定状态，需要等待毒理学和显微镜检测的全部结果出炉并完成最终确认。格雷厄姆办公室在公布这些医学细节时，也重申了其家人在这一艰难时刻对隐私的请求。
The medical examiner's office, in a joint statement with the Metropolitan Police Department, emphasized that these preliminary examination findings are not final. Graham's official death certificate will remain pending while comprehensive toxicological and microscopic testing is completed to finalize the results. In sharing these medical details, Graham's office reiterated the family's request for privacy during this difficult period.
03紧急救援过程与调度音频曝光Emergency Response and Dispatch Audio Details
根据曝光的紧急救援调度音频，周六晚上针对林赛·格雷厄姆参议员的救援行动在晚上8点多展开。当时，华盛顿哥伦比亚特区消防和紧急医疗服务部门接到了关于其住所发生心脏骤停的报告，并随即派出了救援人员。尽管调度员最初向救援单位转达称报警人表示前门未锁，但救援人员抵达现场后却发现大门紧锁，且敲门后屋内无人回应。面对这一情况，现场救援人员迅速请求大都会警察局派员协助，以便强行破门进入屋内。
According to emergency dispatch audio, the emergency response to Senator Lindsey Graham's Washington, D.C., residence began shortly after 8 p.m. on Saturday night following a report of a cardiac arrest. Although dispatchers initially informed responding units that the caller reported the front door was unlocked, first responders arrived to find the door locked with no response from inside. Consequently, emergency personnel requested officers from the Metropolitan Police Department to assist with forced entry to gain access to the home.
在最初派警约20至25分钟后，无线电调度音频显示，救援人员进入屋内并开始对患者进行心肺复苏（CPR）。在整个调度过程中，音频并未直接提及格雷厄姆的名字，也未描述其具体身体状况。随后，有执法人员在无线电通话中表示，此事件将仅作为“国会警察事务”处理。在晚上9点30分过后不久，最后一通相关的无线电调度结束。格雷厄姆随后被送往乔治·华盛顿大学医院，并于当晚10点23分被宣告死亡。
Approximately 20 to 25 minutes after the initial dispatch, radio traffic indicated that emergency crews had entered the residence and were performing CPR. The dispatch audio did not identify Graham by name or describe his physical condition, though subsequent radio traffic noted the incident would be handled as a "Capitol Police matter only." The final relevant radio transmission occurred shortly after 9:30 p.m., and Graham was subsequently pronounced dead at George Washington University Hospital at 10:23 p.m. Saturday.
04乌克兰之行与特朗普总统的哀悼Ukraine Trip and President Trump's Tribute
在突发疾病去世的前一天，林赛·格雷厄姆参议员刚刚结束对乌克兰的访问并返回美国。作为在外交政策上具有重要影响力的共和党人，他长期在国际舞台上倡导更为强硬的美国外交政策。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在接受全国广播公司（NBC）《会见新闻界》（Meet the Press）节目采访时透露，格雷厄姆在周六晚上从乌克兰回国后曾给他打过电话。特朗普表示，格雷厄姆在电话中“听起来有一点疲倦，但状态完美”，这也是两人之间的最后一次通话。
Just one day before his sudden passing, Senator Lindsey Graham had returned to the United States from a trip to Ukraine. As a leading Republican voice on foreign policy, Graham had traveled the globe to advocate for a more aggressive U.S. foreign policy. President Donald Trump, speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," revealed that Graham had called him on Saturday night after returning from his journey to Ukraine. According to the president, the senator "sounded a little bit tired, but perfect" during what would be their final conversation.
特朗普总统对格雷厄姆的逝世表达了深切哀悼，高度评价其“就像家人一样”，并坦言失去他“非常艰难”。为了纪念这位与他关系密切的盟友，特朗普总统签署行政命令，下令全国各地的国旗降半旗志哀，该降旗令将持续至周六傍晚。格雷厄姆的突然离世，不仅使美国政界失去了一位服役国会三十载的资深立法者，也让其原定于四个月后进行的连任竞选戛然而止。
President Trump paid a warm tribute to Graham, describing the veteran lawmaker as "like a member of the family" and expressing that his passing was "very tough." To honor his close congressional ally, the president issued an executive order directing that flags across the country be flown at half-staff until Saturday evening. Graham's sudden death brings an abrupt end to his thirty-year career in Congress, occurring just four months before he was scheduled to face his next re-election campaign.
