\u201cHe was always working, and was a true American Patriot. Lindsey will be greatly missed!!! DETAILS AND ARRANGEMENTS TO FOLLOW. So sad!\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n

Now, Graham\u2019s possible cause of death has been revealed.<\/p>\n

According to NBC News, Graham passed after Saturday night \u201cfrom a brief and sudden illness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSenator Graham\u2019s family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period,\u201d said a statement from the family.<\/p>\n

Emergency responders were dispatched to Graham\u2019s Capitol Hill residence Saturday night after receiving a call reporting a possible \u201ccardiac arrest,\u201d according to police scanner audio obtained by NBC News.<\/p>\n

Photographs reviewed by NBC News show paramedics transporting an individual on a stretcher from the home to a waiting ambulance.<\/p>\n

Police vehicles and fire trucks were also present at the scene.<\/p>\n

Graham was serving as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee and was running for a fifth six-year term in the Senate this November.<\/p>\n

One of the chamber\u2019s most recognizable members, he was a leading voice within his party on defense and foreign policy issues.<\/p>\n

A senior Graham aide told NBC News early Sunday that there had been no indication the senator was experiencing health problems before his death.<\/p>\n

Graham had been scheduled to appear on NBC News\u2019 Meet the Press Sunday morning, a program on which he had been a frequent guest, making 63 appearances over the years.<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader John Thune paid tribute to a \u201cstrong advocate for the United States and a strong ally to freedom-loving countries across the globe,\u201d while South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said Graham had been \u201cthe fiercest of fighters for South Carolina and America\u2014and a loyal and steadfast friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
