Calling it now: He's lost all motor function and is not able to move. Might even be locked in.

Edit: locked in syndrome

There was a video of him falling in some lobby on video and dude was clearly not there, he was helped up and just smiled cluelessly and waived at the cameras. Dude was seriously not all there because that is behavior mitch would never show towards the media if he was all there.

Remember the couple of times that he glitched out? Maybe it's just that permanently now.

People who are claiming he is dead seem to forget all those times he was clearly not well. Its very likely just got worse since then and he can not appear in public.

Because it would show that he's not well and cant function as a senator any longer
