KTLA Anchor Chris Burrous’ Death Investigated as Possible Overdose: Glendale Police
ktla ^ | 12/28/2018 | Erika Martin

Burrous was found unresponsive at a Days Inn in Glendale after a male he was with called authorities around 1:15 p.m. to report he had passed out and was possibly not breathing, Glendale Police Sgt. Dan Suttles said in a news briefing.

Paramedics who responded to the hotel, at 450 Pioneer Drive, located Burrous inside a room suffering from a medical emergency. The person he was with, who Suttles said “appears to be a friend,” was already administering aid when they arrived, the sergeant said.

First responders also administered CPR before transporting Burrous to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, officials said.

When the companion originally called police, he indicated Burrous had possibly overdosed, Suttles said.

“What we know at this point is that the call came in as a medical emergency, and that’s how it was handled,” he said.

There was no indication of suicide, he added.

He leaves behind a wife and daughter.

Well, that's sad. But I'm curious about his male companion.

So was he pretending to be straight or pretending to be gay?

Both.

When I saw last night he had “died suddenly” I figured he’d killed himself. Or had a heart attack. He always seemed to be wound way too tight.

1 pm at a Days Inn. I’m thinking drug-fueled booty call.

Only reason I know who Burrous was because I recalled the Sweatergate flap. I was amazed he kept his job after that, considering the market he worked in.

The person who was with Mr. Burrous could clear up any confusion, if he chose.

What a sad situation. The more one learns about “famous” people, the sadder they all seem.

Every time you read stories like this, almost always it’s because of a fentanyl overdose. They do illegal drugs like heroin or cocaine that is laced with fentanyl which comes directly from the southern border, and it stops their heart and breathing. Tens of thousands die every year because of this crap, a great deal young adults and teens all of which is IGNORED by our Goebbels media.

Never. Heard that guy say anything political. It was “happy talk” programming.

Closet druggies sometimes get rooms to go on binges.
