Kyle Van De Water, an Afghanistan War veteran and former New York congressional candidate who abruptly ended a second bid last month, died suddenly on Tuesday, according to local officials.

Van De Water, 41, who last year challenged incumbent Democratic Rep. Antonio Delgado, was found dead by police at the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery after responding to a report of a “man down,” MidHudsonNews.com reported.
