LOUISVILLE, Ky. - An adult son of U.S. Rep. Anne Northup was found dead in his apartment Wednesday, a Northup aide said.
The body of Joshua Northup, 30, was found by his father, Robert "Woody" Northup, after the younger Northup had failed to report to work the past two days and co-workers called to express concern, said Sherri Craig, the congresswoman's district director.
The congresswoman was in Washington, D.C., when told of her son's death.
Joshua Northup worked at Humana Inc. and was not married.
Northup apparently died of natural causes but toxicology results were pending, said Jefferson County Deputy Coroner Gayle Norris.
You can send her words of support, if you're inclined. I know she's not everybody's favorite Republican, certainly not mine, but sometimes politics just has to take a back seat to compassion.
