Former U.S. Representative James Traficant of Ohio--a brash, eccentric figure known for his bombastic speeches who went to prison for corruption--died on Saturday at age 73. His family attorney made the announcement. Police said Traficant had been hospitalized since Wednesday in critical condition, after he lost control of his 1948 Ford tractor in the barn at his home in Greenford, Ohio. The tractor rolled over and pinned him underneath. Family attorney Heidi Hanni said Traficant died at 11:30 a.m. She did not disclose a cause of death, and the local county coroner's office said it would make a statement on Sunday. http://bit.ly/1vgqqNU http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
