Ed Bradley Dead at 65
 
(CBS) Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Ed Bradley died of leukemia this morning. He joined the staff of the venerable news magazine 26 years ago.

Bradley’s consummate skills as a broadcast journalist and his distinctive body of work were recognized with numerous awards, including 19 Emmys, the latest for a segment that reported the reopening of the 50-year-old racial murder case of Emmett Till.

He was honored with the Lifetime Achievement award from the National Association of Black Journalists. Three of his Emmys came at the 2003 awards: a Lifetime Achievement Emmy; one for a 60 Minutes report on brain cancer patients, "A New Lease on Life" (April 2002); and another for his hour on 60 Minutes II about sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, “The Catholic Church on Trial” (June 2002).

I know. I read the article and was shocked and saddened. I didn't even know that Ed Bradley was ill. It's very sad. He will be missed. He was a big part of 60 Minutes. Rest in Peace Ed Bradley.

Oh my God - I am completely shocked!!! I had no idea he was sick.

Who ever thought Mike Wallace would outlive Ed Bradley? (knock wood)

I just read this on Yahoo and I am saddened and stunned :( I never knew he was ill! He was such a cool guy! RIP Ed :(

I think he might have been a Kappa?

Actually, I'm pretty sure he was an Omega, but they can confirm (or not) that. I met him a few years ago when he came to our campus as part of a lecture series. I was a media relations officer then and spent a fair amount of time with him (pre-speech) in his dressing room.

He was chilled, very reflective, given the life-on-the-run of a "60 Minutes" correspondent. He just came across as a man very much at ease with himself. I enjoyed the opportunity exchange some dialogue with him.

God speed, E. Bradley

I just heard that. That's sad, and I did not know he was ill, either. I always enjoyed his segments on 60 Minutes.

Loved his style. He could get the same answers that Wallace could, without being overtly aggressive.

An outstanding journalist is gone.

I had read a long time ago that he had had cancer, but I assumed it was prostate or another cancer that is common and often beat.

He was also the only journalist to interview Timothy McVeigh while he was on Death Row.

This makes me sad. I always thought he was so cute with his earring.

RIP Ed Bradley. :(
