A news icon Tim Russert who in covered political news, with his pain-spoken explanations and hard-hitting question has dies of sudden heart attack on Friday. His death was annouced by Tom Brokaw, former anchor of "NBC Night News", who broke into the network's programming after 3.30pm. He was stricken while he recording voice-over of Sunday program. Russert, also was the Washington Bureau of NBC and Senior Vice President with the trade mark to his co-worker 'Before big interview, before big moment of your life, pal go get them'.
Russert long time friend and physician, Dr. Michael Newman, said that he had asymptomic coronary artery disease that was controlled with medication and exercise and that he had performed well on a stress test in late April. An autopsy performed on the day of his death determined that his history of coronary artery disease lead to sudden cardiac death with the immediate cause being an occlusive coronary thrombus in the left anterior descending artery, resulting from a ruptured cholesterol plaque.
We lost another great anchor and journalist :(( Our thought and prayer go to Russert family.
