Antonacci was known for his wide-ranging roles in state government and was heading the controversial Office of Elections Crimes and Security at the time of his death. The circumstances of Antonacci’s sudden departure from the meeting and subsequent collapse were recorded on CCTV and reported by the Florida Bulldog news site.
