A spokesperson for Democratic U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner of Texas says he has died just two months after taking office and hours after attending President Donald Trump's address before Congress. Linda Brown says Turner was taken to a hospital in Washington, D.C., and died at his home on Wednesday morning. He was 70. Turner’s cause of death was not immediately known.
