Former Fox News correspondent Wendell Goler died at the age of 70, according to the network.
Goler, who joined Fox News in 1996, died earlier in the week. Based in Washington, he covered five presidents throughout his career.
The Washington Fox News bureau chief Bryan Boughton stated that he will “cherish what he taught me” about journalism.
“Wendell Goler was a great journalist and helped build Fox News from the ground up,” Boughton remarked. “Wendell was a professional who pursued all angles of a story so he could report it fairly. Wendell was also a great guy to work with and brought a lot of fun and smiles to our long hours of travel around the world.”
Goler departed Fox News in 2014, saying it had been a “hell of a ride” during his final day at work.
The Fox report didn’t elaborate on his cause of death, but Fox News host Brit Hume said it may have been kidney failure.
Other than Hume, several other Fox News personalities including Bret Baier offered their condolences.
