(CBS) Terence Tolbert, the Nevada campaign director for Barack Obama's presidential campaign and a former top aide to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, has died. He was 44.
A family spokesman says Tolbert died Sunday night in Las Vegas of a massive heart attack.
Tolbert was on leave from his job as the chief lobbyist for New York City's public schools at the state capital in Albany to work for the Democratic presidential nominee.
He had previously worked as chief of staff to Democratic state Assemblyman Keith Wright and in other government posts.
Bloomberg, who has switched his registration from Democratic to Republican to independent, called Tolbert one of the most hardworking people in the world and also one of the most likable.
