PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Pennsylvania state Rep. Matt Gergely has died after suffering a medical emergency. The Pennsylvania House Democratic Caucus announced Rep. Gergely's death Sunday evening, weeks after suffering a medical emergency over the holiday weekend.

A Democratic state representative from Western Pennsylvania suffered a health emergency and is expected to be be absent from the first day of the legislative session on Tuesday, putting the party’s one-seat majority in the state House in jeopardy after Democrats narrowly hung on to control of the chamber in the 2024 election.

A Democrat in Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives has died, the House Democratic caucus said Sunday night, leaving the chamber deadlocked at a 101-101 partisan divide.
