Legendary American television and radio presenter Larry King has died at the age of 87. King's company reported his death on Twitter but did not say what caused the death.
King was hospitalized about two weeks ago in a Los Angeles hospital after contracting the corona virus and has since deteriorated.
The 87-year-old King, who hosted CNN's Larry King Live's mainstream entertainment program for 25 years and won the Emmy Award, has suffered from a number of background illnesses, including diabetes and heart problems.
He even underwent bypass surgery in the late 1980s.
About three years ago, Blue was diagnosed with lung cancer.
King began his career as a journalist and radio interviewer in Florida in the 1950s and 1960s.
His career skyrocketed when he began presenting "Larry King Show" on national radio in 1978. Later, from 1985 to 2010, he presented the talk show "Larry King Live" on CNN, in which he hosted presidential candidates, cultural and entertainment figures, athletes and more.
He retired from submitting after over 6,000 plans.
Last year two of his children died within a few weeks, his son Andy died of a heart attack at age 65, and his daughter Julie died after being diagnosed with lung cancer at age 52.
