Fox News audio and sports reporter Matt Napolitano has died at the age of 33 after a long battle with an autoimmune disease.

Napolitano died from an infection, his husband, Ricky Whitcomb announced on social media.

“With a heavy heart I have to share that my husband @MattNapolitano passed away yesterday morning. He loved his job and he loved bringing the news to your radios and televisions.”

“An honest journalist who truly cared about facts. You can thank him for the last minute Jets win today.”

Napolitano worked as a writer for the SiriusXM channel Fox News Headlines 24/7 and also as an anchor and reporter on various shows on the network.

During his time at Fox, Napolitano worked on “Cavuto Coast to Coast” on Fox Business Network and also produced content for the Fox News Edge service,

Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott expressed her condolences in a memo to employees:

“Matt did everything from anchoring to writing and producing for our audio platforms and loved being able to work in the journalism field that he trained for his entire life.”

Scott also praised Napolitano for his strong work ethic and commitment.

CBD News reported that Napolitano worked as an anchor and reporter, writing and producing segments for all Fox News audio platforms.

He contributed sports-related coverage for Fox Business Network’s “Cavuto: Coast to Coast” weekday series anchored by Neil Cavuto.

He also did voice work for the Fox News Edge service, which delivers news coverage and content packages to Fox affiliate stations around the country.

Variety reported: Outside of work, Napolitano was an avid fan of “Jeopardy.” He was a contestant in 2020 on the syndicated game show, achieving a long-held dream after engaging in a methodical process of applying to be chosen for the show that began when he was a teenager. He also appeared as a contestant on “Wheel of Fortune” in 2016, making it to the bonus round on that game show.

When it’s a gay partner, they call them husbands. When it’s a straight partner, they call them partners.

It’s possible he had AIDS and the media is suppressing it because to say that a gay man died of AIDS is ‘giving ammunition to the haters’. I was just reporting what I read. The problem with the AIDS theory is AIDS victims tend to be thin and gaunt toward the end of their lives and he doesn’t look it. Secondly AIDS is no longer considered a killer disease, just a chronic condition as long as people are taking their meds.

AIDS: Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome

Operative word -- "Acquired"

So the question is: Is someone trying to conceal the
fact that this FOX guy died of AIDS by claiming he
he had some sort of autoimmune disease?

Is the depraved homosexual community now trying to
convince the world that AIDS is an autommune disease
and not a sexually transmitted disease or disease
acquired by IV drug use?

There sure are a disproportionate amount of gays in the media. And in Hollywood too for that matter. All the while whining they are an oppressed group. They hire their own and stick together.

On the other hand, per this article infections are the leading cause of death in people with autoimmune diseases
