Does he comment on every death? If not, then he shouldn't say anything here either.

United "Healthcare" is headquartered in Minnesota, and for high profile deaths relevant to the state, yeah he kinda does.

Wait until he hears about all the people who have died after getting denied by them.

In that case, I wonder just how much "United" "Healthcare" has put in his coffers.

I'm almost certain it's not zero, I think I saw an article about that a few years ago. UHC, like a lot of companies, throws some money at every viable major politician in the state. That's where we're at with how fucked up US politics is.

Apparently they knew eachother personally...

In response to the killing, public officials including Minnesota governor and former Democratic vice president nominee Tim Walz and Senator Amy Klobuchar, expressed dismay and offered condolences to the family. Walz said that he knew Thompson.[26]

It says on the wikipedia page.
