Any one else pretty shocked Tim Russert died?

Question

Yes, of an apparent heart attack it was reported by Tom Brokaw a little while ago.

Answer 1

he did?

Answer 2

I'm always just a little surprised and saddened when someone goes before their time (and yes, people, 58 counts). When it's someone who is seen on a regular basis like he was then it adds that much more of a stun factor.

Answer 3

Unfortunate, but not all THAT unusual for a guy his (and my!) age.

At least it was quick.

Answer 4

i could tell he wasn't in good health.

He always sweated a lot, even 10 years ago.

Answer 5

I hadn't heard that until now.  I am shocked.  He was young.

Answer 6

y i was shocked when i saw it on tv

Answer 7

It is Sad. I just wanna know what happens with his show now ?

Answer 8

Yeah I just saw that as I logged on to Yahoo!  i was very shocked to say the least, did not expect that!!  He seemed like he was in decent shape, I mean he was only 58!!  His family must've had a history of heart problems or something, that or he must've been a smoker or had a terrible diet.  Who knows??  It was just his time I guess...

Answer 9

I am so shocked. It is so sad that such a young guy (he was only 58) could die so suddenly. I can't imagine what his family is going through right now.

Answer 10

When I heard it on the radio my mouth hung open. He was so young! I started crying because he was such a nice guy and he always reported the news like he was talking to you, like he knew you.

Answer 11

Yes!  I think Cheney had him whacked....

Answer 12

yes      1rst thing I saw on computer today

             was sorta a double take & shock  combined

                         Condolences to Friends & Family
