Annus horribilis for the legendary American journalist Larry King, 86: after suffering a stroke in May and some time after divorcing his wife Shawn after 22 years, the historic face of CNN lost two children in just over three weeks.
«It is with great sadness and the broken heart of a father that I confirm the recent loss of two of my children, Andy and Chaia King – wrote Larry on Facebook – They were good and kind souls, and we will miss them very much. Andy died suddenly of a heart attack on July 28 and Chaia died on August 20 after being diagnosed with lung cancer. Losing them is so wrong. No parent should ever bury a child. ”
King has been married 7 times. He had had Chaia with his ex-wife Alene Akins, and had adopted Andy, born from a previous marriage of Alene. He has three other children, with his wife Shawn: Larry Jr., Cannon and Chance. Struck by a severe stroke in May, three months later King filed for divorce from Shawn. The reporter hosted the Larry King Live talk show on CNN from 1985 to 2010, and currently hosts Larry King Now on Hulu and RT America, as well as Sunday’s Politicking with Larry King on the same two online channels.
