WASHINGTON (TND) — Singer Tony Bennett has passed away
just two weeks short of his birthday.
Bennett died in his hometown of New York, his publicist Sylvia
Weiner confirmed to The Associated Press.
No specific cause was given but the singer was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2016.
His family revealed the news to AARP magazine in 2021 with
Bennett saying, "Life is a gift — even with Alzheimer’s."
Emmy-winning meteorologist Elise Finch has died, according
to WCBS New York, the station she worked at for 16 years.
According to a statement issued by the TV station, Finch died
at a local hospital, and her cause of death remains unknown.
Shortly after leaving a party on Chappaquiddick Island, Senator
Edward “Ted” Kennedy of Massachusetts drove an Oldsmobile
off a wooden bridge into a tide-swept pond. Kennedy escaped
the submerged car, but his passenger, 28-year-old Mary Jo
Kopechne, did not. The senator did not report the fatal car
accident for 10 hours.
