Tim Russert of NBC died today of a heart attack while at work. He was just 58.
Tim Russert, NBC journalist and political heavyweight host of “Meet the Press,” has died after collapsing at NBC’s Washington news bureau. He was 58 years old.
Television sources said Russert was recording a voice-over when he collapsed in the studio today.
An ambulance rushed to the studio and a source at the network said Russert was briefly revived. But, the broadcasting lion apparently passed away either on the way or at a local Washington D.C. hospital.
Former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw announced news of Russert’s death at 3:39 p.m.
I’m not a fan of NBC, but I always thought Tim Russert was a good guy. So long Tim.
