Chris Burrous, Beloved KTLA Anchor, Dead at 43
Chris Burrous, a fixture on the KTLA 5 Morning News since 2011, passed away Thursday. He was 43.
The broadcaster was found unresponsive at a Days Inn in Glendale. His death is being investigated as a possible overdose, Glendale police said in a news release.
KTLA President and General Manager Don Corsini and News Director Jason Ball issued a statement Thursday night:
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Burrous family. Chris loved sharing the stories of Southern California and connecting with our viewers. He will be remembered as a great journalist and a wonderful friend to many. He brought a kindness to his work and will be deeply missed by the entire KTLA family."

For those in the LA area that watch KTLA, this is a real shock. He was a great on-air personality.

I suspect suicide, if only for the reason that so many are unhappy at the holidays and this is what sometimes happens.
May he rest in peace.
So sad
