Tim Russert of Meet the Press Dies of Heart Attack




NBC News' Tim Russert has died of a heart attack. He was 58.

The "Meet the Press" host and author is survived by his wife Maureen Orth -- a special correspondent for Vanity Fair -- and their adult son, Luke.

A source tells us his family was just on a European vacation, returning late last night. He was working in NBC's Washington bureau today when he collapsed.

DC Fire tells us the call came in at 1:41 PM ET. We're told they transported one adult male patient in cardiac arrest to Sibley Hospital where he died.

Story developing ...


TMZ is all over that.
