Dia De Los Muertos: Tim Russert Is Dead
13 June 2008, 4:55 PM. By Daniel Mauser
“Meet the Press’” Tim Russert died today of a heart attack at NBC’s Washington office. He was -64- 58 years old:
Former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw announced news of Russert’s death at 3:39 p.m.
“The news division will not be the same without his strong, clear voice,” a solemn Brokaw said.
Sources said the network allowed itself to be scooped by other media outlets as it tried to contact Russert’s wife Maureen and son Luke, who just graduated from Boston College.
Russert had just returned from a family vacation in Italy and was recording a voice over at the time of his collapse. Sadness.

He was 58. Too young, anyway.
So it goes.
Aw, boo.
