Larry King, Brooklyn-born broadcaster whose live TV program on CNN made him one of the most famous talk-show hosts in the world, has died in Los Angeles. He was 87-year-old who took his last breath at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center on Saturday.

Till now there is no certain cause of death, but King’s death came weeks after it was revealed that the award-winning host was battling with Coronavirus in early January. His son, Chance, confirmed King’s death.

He battled a number of health problems, suffering several heart attacks. In 1987, he underwent quintuple bypass surgery, inspiring him to establish the Larry King Cardiac Foundation to provide assistance to those without insurance. Moreover, King revealed in 2017 that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer and successfully underwent surgery to treat it. He also underwent a procedure in 2019 to address angina.
King hosted “Larry King Live” on CNN for over 25 years. He proudly believed and followed his life’s philosophy that “as long as I am live, I’ll keep going.”

 

In his profession, he strongly believed, “I’m always engrossed in the guest. I’m always listening to the answer. I’m always learning, so I guess I’m better every day at learning.” He served 63 years across the platforms of radio, television and digital media, Larry’s many thousands of interviews, awards, and global acclaim stand as a testament to his unique and lasting talent as a broadcaster.
