Former Fox News Correspondent Dead at 43; Coroner Rules Suicide

Fox News today reported on the tragic death of one of its own: 43-year-old ex-correspondent Dominic Di-Natale.

A Fox News spokesperson reacted in a statement saying “We were extremely saddened to learn of Dominic’s passing and send our deepest condolences to his family and friends. He was an esteemed journalist and an integral part of our news coverage throughout the Middle East.”

Di-Natale had worked at Fox News since 2007, and over the past few years covered the biggest news stories, from going on location at the compound where Osama bin Laden was hiding out to covering unrest in Ferguson this year. [UPDATE: As it turns out, his official employment with Fox ended earlier this month in an amicable parting, but his last appearance on the network was November 30.]

According to Fox’s report, Di-Natale was found dead in Colorado and the coroner ruled it a suicide.

UPDATE – 12/13/14 at 12:09 a.m.: Tonight Fox’s Megyn Kelly paid tribute to Di-Natale:
