How Did Aide Die Outside DeSantis Office Without Anyone Noticing?
It appears Mr. Antonacci died of a heart attack, not foul play, but it sure sounds like there has been a serious attempt to cover up the details.
As The Independent reported, 74 year-old Antonacci, head of the Office of Election Crimes and Safety, died in September, 2022 after “abruptly” leaving a meeting of that office in the Florida Capitol. The office had been created two months earlier in response to false MAGA claims about election fraud in 2020.
But the Florida Bulldog did some digging and got hold of Florida Department of Law Enforcement reports. Despite numerous redactions, it suggests a shocking disregard for life on the part of DeSantis’ staff and, quite possibly, "pro life" DeSantis, himself.
That Antonacci, 74, was stricken in the governor’s office was kept secret at the time. Instead, authorities only said he died while at work in the Capitol building, of which the governor’s office is a part.

Florida Bulldog requested the FDLE’s public records in February after receiving a tip that Antonacci had died in the governor’s office following an argument with DeSantis. The FDLE reports, however, make no mention of DeSantis being present.
