September 16, 2011 at 3:47AM

The 22-year-old son of Rep. Jim Abeler, R-Anoka, died suddenly early Thursday, apparently after a seizure while he was asleep.

A memo from the House Republican caucus said that Josiah Abeler was a business school student at Bethel University. His father, a chiropractor and seven-term Republican legislator, chairs the House Health and Human Services Finance Committee.
