By KAREN BUTLER
NEW YORK, March 21 (UPI) — WABC Eyewitness News reporter and anchor Lisa Colagrossi has died of a brain hemorrhage at the age of 49.
The program’s website said she collapsed while returning from an assignment Thursday morning in New York City.
“She was an amazing reporter, committed to Eyewitness News. She was dedicated to telling a story with honesty. A working woman, a hockey mom, she was gutsy and fearless,” Saturday’s message from the news team said. “We here at Eyewitness News are still in shock and we’re trying to cope with the loss of someone we loved and valued.”
The Cleveland native started covering news for WABC in 2001.
She is survived by her husband Todd and their sons Davis and Evan.
