NBC's Tim Russert Dies at Age 58 of Heart Attack

Host of NBC's Meet the Press, Tim Russert died suddenly Friday at the age of 58 from a heart attack. The newsman collapsed while working in the network's Washington bureau.

President Bush, informed of Russert's death while at dinner in Paris, saluted him as "a tough and hardworking newsman. He was always well-informed and thorough in his interviews. And he was as gregarious off the set as he was prepared on it."

Take Russert off your list of Halloween invitations. He isn't going to be able to make it this year. Some joker will likely come AS him though I would imagine.
