ABC News anchor succumbs to lung cancer
Longtime ABC News anchor Peter Jennings died tonight at the age of 67 from complications of lung cancer.
ABC's Charles Gibson, who has been filling in for Jennings on World News Tonight since Jennings made news of his disease public, broke into programming at 11:42 p.m. to announce Jennings' passing.
The obituary posted on ABC's website notes Jennings has reported on major historical events since the days of black-and-white broadcasting.
The Canadian-born Jennings became an American citizen in 2003, and had been married four times.
He is survived by his wife Kayce Freed, his two children, Elizabeth, 25, and Christopher, 23, and his sister Sarah Jennings. |
