Congressman Paul Gillmor has died unexpectedly

And they will be holding a special election to fill the vacancy. It's a solidly Republican district:

Ohio's second-largest district in the state district in the state will hold a special election following the death of Republican Congressman Paul Gillmor. Gillmor didn't show up for work this morning and was found dead in his apartment. Gillmor was 68 years old and the Representative for Bowling Green and most of Toledo's suburbs.

His colleagues in the house were stunned by his death which is said to have been from natural causes.
