BREAKING NEWS.

Charles Krauthammer has died at the age of 68.

Fox News reported:

Charles Krauthammer, a longtime Fox News contributor, Pulitzer Prize winner, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and best-selling author who came to be known as the dean of conservative commentators, has died. He was 68.

His death had been expected after he wrote a heartbreaking letter to colleagues, friends and viewers on June 8 that said in part “I have been uncharacteristically silent these past ten months. I had thought that silence would soon be coming to an end, but I’m afraid I must tell you now that fate has decided on a different course for me…

““Recent tests have revealed that the cancer has returned. There was no sign of it as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly. My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live. This is the final verdict. My fight is over.”

On June 8th, Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer, 68, revealed he has weeks to live in a heartbreaking letter to colleagues.

Krauthammer overcame many obstacles in life, including a diving accident when he was in college that left him a quadriplegic. 

The “Special Report” star went on to graduate from Harvard Medical school in 1975 and even won a Pulitzer-Prize.

Charles Krauthammer was missing from the network for nearly a year battling cancer.

Unfortunately the cancer returned in a very aggressive form.

“I have been uncharacteristically silent these past ten months,” the letter began. “I had thought that silence would soon be coming to an end, but I’m afraid I must tell you now that fate has decided on a different course for me.”

“However, recent tests have revealed that the cancer has returned,” Krauthammer wrote. “There was no sign of it as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly. My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live. This is the final verdict. My fight is over.”
