Representative Randy Pike dies Saturday

A Missouri House Representative died Saturday morning due to health complications.

Rep. Randy Pike (R) was elected to the House in 2012 and was running for a second term.

His campaign treasurer said he died Saturday morning at a hospital after swallowing a drink into his lungs.

Pike was 60 years old. He was having health troubles since a battle with pneumonia and a car accident earlier this year.

Pike was the Bates County Northern Commissioner for 12 years before being elected to the House. He served the 126th House District.
