Fox commentator Charles Krauthammer has died at 68:

  • Krauthammer, who Fox is billing as a “conservative icon,” announced June 8 he had only weeks to live due to an “aggressive form of cancer.”
  • “I leave this life with no regrets. It was a wonderful life — full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living. I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended,” he wrote at the time.
  • Fox News chairman Rupert Murdoch wrote “Charles has been a profound source of personal and intellectual inspiration for all of us at Fox News. His always principled stand on the most important issues of our time has been a guiding star in an often turbulent world, a world that has too many superficial thinkers vulnerable to the ebb and flow of fashion, and a world that, unfortunately, has only one Charles Krauthammer. His words, his ideas, his dignity and his integrity will resonate within our society and within me for many, many years to come.”
  • Krauthammer was injured in a diving accident during his first year at Harvard University and remained paralyzed from the next down for the rest of his life.
  • He also wrote columns and books, mainly focused around conservative values.
