Sean Hannity just mentioned something...really cryptic. Didn’t say exactly what the story was.

Far too young to die. Sympathies to his family and friends if true.

Shep just went to commercial and said there’s breaking news when we come back. Hmm, I wonder if they’re looking to verify the story first? He’s not reporting anything about this, that I’ve seen so far.

[pgkdan]

Is this true??? If so prayers for his soul and his family. Especially his dad, what a miserable Father’s day he’ll have. Even though he’s a lib I’ve always liked Russert.

[theDentist]

Prayers for his family

[DoughtyOne]

Sorry to hear of this. I wish his family and friends well during the difficult period ahead.

Based on a report in the New York Post online, according to an unnamed source.

[marinamuffy]

Terrible. Prayers for his family.......

[dead]

Wow. That’s really awful.

[Jim Scott]

Condolences to his wife and son.

Tim Russert wasn't my favorite news reporter but he was only moderately liberal and a guy it seemed hard to dislike.

Gone too soon at 58 years old.

[Constitution Day]

That is horrible. How old was he?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Tim Russert was one of the few intellectually honest liberals who would ask hard questions of ‘Rats.

TIM RUSSERT DIES FROM APPARENT HEART ATTACK

By CHARLES HURT

June 13, 2008 --

Tim Russert, NBC journalist and political heavyweight host of "Meet the Press," has died after collapsing at NBC's Washington news bureau, a source said. He was 58 years old.

Russert, who rose from the inside world of politics where he was former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo's press secretary and one-time chief of staff to the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, was able to successfully cross over to political journalism and rise to become one of its leading lights.

In his role as host of the seminal Sunday morning political program "Meet the Press" - which he took over in 1991 - he became renowned for his hard-nosed interviews where he frequently cornered some of Washington's cagiest political figures with tough questions.

THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY. PLEASE REFRESH FOR UPDATES.

NBC now breaking in regular programming to report.

Confirming Russert died of heart attack at work.
